1. Register
2. Find private sponsors or companies to support the run as donors (per lap or fixed amount)
3. Run
4. After the event, donors will be billed either for the number of laps run or the pre-determined fixed amount.

As a runner, you can raise money for Arosa Bear Sanctuary with the help of personal sponsors. Sponsors support the runner with a contribution per lap run or with a fixed amount. The aim is to get as many friends, neighbours, relatives, work colleagues or companies as possible to participate.

As a donor, there are two options available: support a runner with a contribution per lap completed, or support Arosa Bärenland with a fixed amount, the ‘Tatzenbatzen’. After the run, the kilometres completed will be evaluated. Donors will then receive an invoice for the previously determined amount of CHF X based on the laps completed. 

As a company, you can sponsor your own employees. Support can be provided with a contribution per lap run, a cost cap can be defined, or a fixed amount can be donated as a company – get involved together and experience a great company event while jogging! If the company is unable to make a financial commitment, the employees simply compete as a running team and the financial commitment is made exclusively through the runners' private sponsors.

As a club or school class, you run as a ‘team’ with your members/pupils. The club/school can support the runners with a contribution per kilometre run, define a cost ceiling or donate a fixed amount. If the club/school is unable to make a financial contribution, you can simply compete as a team and the financial commitment will come exclusively from the runners' private sponsors.

Participants run as many laps as possible within a set time on an attractive circuit at the Arosa Bear Sanctuary. Every lap completed counts, both for personal achievement and for fundraising success. Here you will find details of the route length, time slots and estimated number of laps for each category.
