History of RTT and the Race:
In August 2004, Riding To The Top had the honor of
being the beneficiary of the 7th Annual Peoples Beach To Beacon Road Race.
The race benefited Riding To The Top both financially and through broad
exposure of our program. Banknorth Charitable Foundation gave RTT a $30,000
grant and nearly 100 sponsored runners raised an additional $25,000 to
benefit RTT’s Capital Campaign.
BE AN RTT SPONSORED RUNNER!
Each year, Riding To The Top will have a team of runners
in the race. TD Banknorth provides RTT with 25 numbers to use for “Sponsored

$300 minimum either through a personal donation or though seeking sponsors
through your friends and family. We’ve made getting sponsors super

In five minutes you’ll have your own webpage that you can send out
