The funds raised will go to two local non-profit organisations selected by HOKA Val d'Aran by UTMB®. The funds will be collected by the UTMB® Cares Foundation, a charitable foundation created by the UTMB® Group and incorporated in France under French law. At least 75% of the total amount raised will go to the selected charities, with the rest being used to support the global programmes of the UTMB® Cares Foundation in the rest of the world and to cover administrative costs.
After the donation, participants must pay the registration fee for the chosen competition (either VDA - 100M, CDH - 100K, or PDA 50K) to complete the Solidarity Bib process.
