For both a\u00a0Fun Run<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Dance Fit<\/a>\u00a0event you want to think through your school\u2019s situation and what type of space best suits each event. For example, if your school does not have an outdoor space, then choosing an indoor event like Dance Fit might be a great idea for you. If you live in New England and your fundraiser is in September, then an outdoor Fun Run might be a beautiful choice for you!<\/p>\n The Fun Run, while it can be done in an indoor gymnasium, traditionally is done outside where the entire school, parents, and community can congregate together for a fantastic outdoor community event. You will want a large enough space for approximately 30 laps to be completed, but these don\u2019t have to be done on an Olympic-size track. Think about what fits within your unique space and landscape.<\/p>\n Great! You can do either an indoor or outdoor fundraiser with the flexibility to flip-flop at the last minute depending on weather. Dance Fit and Fun Runs work perfectly in indoor gyms.<\/p>\n If you want to give your indoor fun run something special, consider a\u00a0Glow Run<\/a>. It\u2019s amazing what a few glow lights, err\u2026well a LOT of glow lights will do.<\/p>\n Fun Fact:\u00a0 Dance Fit was originally created to\u00a0 serve schools who couldn\u2019t do an outdoor event because of weather or space limitations. This makes it the perfect indoor option!<\/p>\n Sometimes a school thinks they need a massive space and everyone together to foster that exciting celebration feeling. And while being together like this naturally creates a grand community vibe, don\u2019t dismiss the bonding experience one classroom can produce.<\/p>\n For schools who prefer to keep their event to each individual classroom, Dance Fit is a great option. For these types of classroom fundraisers, talk to your\u00a0Booster Representative<\/a>\u00a0on how their team can show up and make these events more memorable than ever.<\/p>\n Now you know what works best based on space Next, let\u2019s look at how to set up for a fun run fundraiser and a dance fit fundraiser.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a checklist of what you\u2019ll need to set up a fun run or dance fit fundraiser.

This may impact whether you choose a Fun Run or Dance Fit for your school.<\/p>\n The length of time for a Fun Run is based on laps. The running component of the event can last about half an hour plus the hype before and after. So you could be looking at a fundraising event that lasts about an hour, but it could be more or less.<\/p>\n The duration of a\u00a0Dance Fit<\/a>\u00a0event is based on minutes danced. So Dance Fit will have a clearer stop time. If you work with\u00a0Booster<\/a>, students will do a total of 35 minutes of dance broken up into seven rounds with a short water break in between each round.<\/p>\n So if your school gets through the entire film you are talking about 40 minutes including breaks. Dance Fit works really well with schools who have a tighter timeframe and can\u2019t take as much school time for a fundraiser.<\/p>\n The aftermath of a Booster Fun Run or Dance Fit, is notoriously the same \u2013 enthusiastic excitement from everyone, donation collections coming in\u00a0via Booster Tech<\/a>, and prizes galore for students. But don\u2019t just take our word for it,\u00a0hear from this amazing school who has worked with Booster for over 11 years<\/a>!<\/p>\nMy School has a Large Outdoor Space<\/h2>\n
