For the past several years the Eastman Road Race has offered the Community Participation Awards and School Rebates as a way to give back to our community organizations.
The ECU Community Participation Awards are given to the church, school, Senior Group, and Youth Group with the most participants and volunteers in our 10K and 3K events. Within each of these 4 categories, the winning organization received $5 per person, up to $500 max.
The School Rebate program gives $1 per student to each school having 10 or more students participating in the 10K and 3K events.
