What is a raffle ride or raffle run/walk?
A raffle ride or raffle run/walk is an event that encourages participation by people of all skill levels. Everyone who participates in an activity will receive a raffle ticket for that activity’s raffle prize drawing. However, if you seek a competitive element in your event, fear not! You will receive a raffle ticket for every lap you complete during an event’s designated time. Complete 2 laps, get 2 tickets. Complete 10 laps, get 10 tickets. The more raffle tickets you earn, the more likely it is you’ll win one of the fantastic raffle prizes!
