To participate in the TOUGHMAN Community Fund (“The Program”), you must be a registered TOUGHMAN Program Participant. A “TOUGHMAN Program Participant” (also referred to as “Program Participant”) is defined as a registered and active: 1) athlete, 2) volunteer, or 3) race staff member in the 2026 Westchester TOUGHMAN Race Event.

An athlete Program Participant is someone who has completed their race registration online and received an official race entry confirmation. Volunteer and race staff Program Participants must complete their registration via the Toughman Community Fund platform. Please note that athlete race entries are not available through the TOUGHMAN Community Fund site.

• Athletes must personally pick up their race numbers and provide proof of USA Triathlon (USAT) membership. They must be present at the start of the race and complete the first of the three race events; however, completing all three events is not required.
• Volunteer members must personally check in on race day with the Volunteer Committee before the race starts, proceed to their assigned locations, and perform their race support duties. A minimum of four hours of volunteer service is required to fulfill participation requirements.
• Race Staff members must fulfill their organizational and race event responsibilities to meet participation requirements.

A Program Participant may begin fundraising immediately following completing their program registration requirements described above.

Program Participants may use the assistance of other people in collecting and raising funds for their cause. All funds must be collected expressly for the TOUGHMAN Community Fund with the expressed intent of directing these funds to the Program Participants declared benefactor.

Program Participants must declare one and only one benefactor. A benefactor is defined as a charity, organization, community group or individual.

All funds contributed to the TOUGHMAN Community Fund less administrative fees will be sent to the designated beneficiaries within four to five weeks following the TOUGHMAN race event. The entire total funds raised will be counted towards each athlete’s fundraising total. Any funds received between the fundraising deadline and when an athlete’s fundraising site closes, one month following the race, will be sent to the benefactor shortly after the site is closed.
