We’re trying something new this year! Refer friends and family to the Women’s Classic and get a discount on your registration! Here’s how it works:
- Register for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England Women’s Classic (the 3k walk OR the 5k run) during the months of June and July.
- At check-out, you’ll be asked if you want to share this event with your friends through email, Facebook, or other social media platforms. There will be a referral link. Share your referral link with everyone you know!
- For every person who registers using your link, you will get a $5 refund on your registration. You can get up to $15 in refunds (in other words, 3 referrals).
