Individual Supporter Tiers

Be part of this from day one.

The Pocket Run is more than a race. If you want to stand behind it personally, this is how.

Ruhango, Rwanda — November 2025

From Duan

Why I built this race.

In November 2025 I traveled to Rwanda as a Right To Play Ambassador. I visited schools in Ruhango and sat in on Plug in Play classes where students as young as ten were building robotics and coding projects with their own hands. Kids presenting things they made. Kids who had figured out things I hadn't thought about until I was much older.

I came home and I couldn't let it go. The Pocket Run is my answer to that. A race in my community, on a trail I know, supporting children and communities like the ones I visited. October 3, 2026 in Ajax, Ontario.

Not everyone who wants to be part of this is a brand. Some people just believe in what we're building and want to be there from the start. These tiers are for those people. If that's you, thank you. It genuinely means everything.
