The Great Human Race is a nationwide community fundraising event for nonprofit organizations (such as George Watts Montessori Magnet PTA). The Triangle area race features a 5k competitive run and a 5k community walk through downtown Durham. The event provides an opportunity for any nonprofit agency, school or faith based group to raise money for their programs and enables businesses and individuals to support the nonprofit of their choice. Participating nonprofit organizations receive 85% of monies collected and the Volunteer Center of Durham receives the remaining percentage to coordinate and stage the event.
