FAQ
What is Pledge Per Lap and Simple Donation?
Pledge Per Lap means that you pledge a dollar amount for every lap that your student completes at the Apex Fun Run (between 26-36 laps, not more than 36). Simple Donation means that you pledge to pay a flat amount regardless of how many laps your student runs. For example, you can pledge $1 per lap or pledge $30 no matter what. Pledges per lap allow students to reach the goal, but either pledge works great!
How do I edit a pledge?
Pledges can be edited by going to the "My Pledges" page and clicking the "Edit" button below each sponsor. If the sponsor paid by credit card, you cannot Edit the pledge. All pledges are locked in at midnight PST each night so that the Apex Fun Run team can coordinate prizes. If you need to change a pledge information for a sponsor, please click on the Contact Us form below and tell our team. Someone will get back to you as soon as they can from the school.
How are the Awards calculated and earned by each student?
The awards are given to each student based on the pledge per lap amount raised. Pledges per lap are added to unlock each new prize level. Simple donations can also help students reach awards: $30 of simple flat donations are considered to be equal to $1 pledged per lap. So if someone gave $60 simple donation to the student, it would result in $2 per lap increase.
Can I come to the Apex Fun Run?
Yes please!!! The more parents the better! And we'll have noise makers for you to cheer with.
What happens when I put my credit card in for a pledge?
After the race you will be charged based on the laps of your student, and you will get a receipt right afterwards (36 laps max). The teachers enter the lap results, so some could be off by a little bit. If the results are significantly different, you can send an email to info@apexfunrun.com.
Do I have to enter my credit card?
No. Credit cards make payment much easier and automated after the race, but you can also just pay by cash or check before the race.
