GFC 2024 Golf Marathon

Play Golf for Runway for Recovery on June 6 or 7, 2024 (golfer chooses) at Juniper Hills.

Join us for an unbelievable day of camaraderie where golfers of all skill levels are sponsored to play 100 holes in one day to positively impact the lives of cancer patients and their families. Launched in New England in 2005, more than $4.25 Million has been raised through GFC’s Golf Marathon, with $830,000 raised in 2023 by golfers representing 14 nonprofits.

Runway for Recovery receives 100% of the funds raised by their golfers.

What is required to participate?

• $3,000 per individual golfer
• $1,500 per junior golfer (25 years old & under)
  • Golf Fights Cancer covers all expenses related to the event – including cost of golf, donation transaction fees, food & beverage, registration gifts & prizes
  • Golf Fights Cancer provides all golfers with a fundraising page and resources to support their crowdfunding efforts – including an event newsletter and individual coaching

Who Plays? 

• Golfers of all skill levels – from those who play only a few times a season to scratch golfers
• Golfers of all ages – over the years participants have ranged from elementary school aged through retirees
• Golfers who have been impacted by cancer, either personally or through a family member/friend, and are
  passionate about making a difference

How can you play 100 holes in one day?

• This is not a day to shoot a personal best, in fact, golfers will not be keeping score
• Holes aren’t necessarily played in sequence. Golfers are assigned a starting hole and can then scatter and play
  any hole as they wish (even repeating a circuit)
• Participants have the option to play two golf balls per hole with preferred lies, and count both towards their tally
• Putts ‘inside the leather’ are gimmies
• Shotgun start at 7:15am, group lunch from 11:30am – 12:30pm, golf finished by 5pm
