Organized by the Pediatric Research Foundation’s Young Leaders Circle, Bécanes et bottines is a sporting event that allows companies and their employees to compete against each other.
How to participate? It’s easy!
- Contact the people in charge of your company, as each registered team will donate an amount based on the mileage covered by its employees to support paediatric research.
- Form a team with your collegues who commit to running, swimming or biking for the cause.
- Team members’ mileage is added up and a certain amount per mile is donated. Donate and look for sponsors!
- When you register, your donation must be equal to $1 per kilometre for a minimum of 500 km.
- Each team member must raise a minimum of $100.
- Track your performance by subscribing to the Pediatric Research Foundation page on Strava and join the Strava Club!
