Our sixth event for 2014 was the Tri-Wizard Challenge event. The Goblet of Fire has selected you as a Tri-Wizard Champion and has given you a maximum of three daunting tasks to complete! The Tri-Wizard Challenge was a 5k, 10k, and/or a 15k. The “OR” is very important! It means you could complete one of the distances, or do all three for an impressive total of 30k! Also, you could complete the distances with a “team.” Get someone to join […]

Our fifth event of 2014 was the inaugural Platform event. It’s back-to-school time! What a better way to celebrate going back to school than to celebrate the Hogwarts Express?  And to address all those runners who worried that a ten-kilometer run would be a bit much at that point in the year, we responded: if you can’t run a 10k, certainly you can run a 9 3/4k, can’t you? Hence the first iteration of this now annual event was born. […]

Our fourth event of 2014 was the Hedwig Memorial Run 5k. The Hedwig Memorial Run 5k is in honor of one of the most bravest characters in the Harry Potter series.

We asked as many people as possible to complete this 5k at the the time and location of their choosing on July 27th, which is the […]

Our third event of 2014 was A Walk in the Moonlight 5k. This medal was inspired by a submitted suggestion from one of our HRC members as we pay tribute to our favorite lycanthrope, Remus Lupin.

The contribution in the 2014 donation total was $10,670. In 2015, HRC relaunched the 2014 medals during 2015 Time Turner and the […]

Our second event of 2014 was the Chamber of Secrets 10k. As a nod to the second book in the Harry Potter series, we opened upon something dangerous and foreboding…a distance that increased to ten kilometers! All proceeds from the 2014 inaugural season supported The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund in the battle against pediatric cancer. The contribution in the 2014 donation total was $10,670. In 2015, HRC relaunched the 2014 medals during 2015 Time Turner and the […]
