Q. Who benefits from the Sesame Street Virtual Fun Run?
A. All proceeds will benefit the Sesame Workshop Yellow Feather Fund, which supports Sesame Workshop's many social impact initiatives that help children and families around the world through challenges big and small. For more information, please visit sesameworkshop.org.
Q. Is there a minimum I should raise?

Q. How do I register additional fundraisers or participants for the Sesame Street Virtual Fun Run?
A. In order to register additional fundraisers or participants, a user must select "Create a Team or Register Additional Participants" in Step 2 of the registration form and enter their team or family name. If you would like someone to be a Fundraiser, meaning the new participant will have their own fundraising page and log in, an email address will be required. Therefore, the toggle switch next to "Email Address Required" should be moved to YES. However, if the registrant does not want the additional registrant(s) to have fundraiser tools, as in the case of a parent who registers a child, then an email address is not required. Therefore the toggle switch next to "Email Address Required" should be moved to NO.
Q. Can I use the same email address to register another participant?
A. Yes. A registrant is able to register additional participants with the same email address during the registration process and after. This can be done during the initial registration or through the RSVP task in the fundraiser task list.
Q. Are managed users eligible for the race medal, hat, and fundraising awards?
A. All registered participants will receive a Fun Run race medal and hat. Participants who raise $50 or more will receive the race medal, hat and fundraising awards.
Q. How do I import endurance activities from a fitness app?
A. You can connect a fitness app and import activities from your fundraising dashboard under the "Endurance Challenge" tab. Within the tab, you can log your activity by connecting the Strava app.
Q. How do I access my race bib and finisher certificate?
A. You can download your race bib here and finisher certificate here.
Q.
