Relay For Life events across the country are building toward the Answer the Call Fundraising Challenge, and early participant registration is the key to success.

The leaderboard below shows how your event’s current registration compares to your total participant count from March 25, 2025. This benchmark helps you see how your event is pacing—and where you have an opportunity to grow before the challenge begins.

Why this matters:

• Events will be grouped into three challenge categories based on registration totals as of March 16, 2026 at 11:59pm EDT

• Events must have at least 50 registered participants by March 16 to qualify for event-level incentives

• Stronger registration now means stronger positioning—and greater opportunity for success—during the fundraising challenge

The Answer the Call Fundraising Challenge runs March 23 at 12:00am EDT through March 26 at 11:59pm EDT, and events with more registered participants are better positioned to activate their networks and maximize their impact.

As an Event Leadership Team member, your outreach right now makes a measurable difference. Consider reaching out to returning participants, team captains, and new community members to invite them to register and be part of Relay this year.

Every registration moves your event forward—and strengthens your ability to lead during the Answer the Call Challenge.
