The White River Marathon is proud to announce the selected local charity organizations, which were selected from the race of 2025 on November 22, 2025 in Cotter, Arkansas. This year's proceeds remain locally and benefit three outstanding organizations that have an impact in the counties Baxter and Marion.
2025 charity recipient:
Baxter Health Mruk Family Center for aging – 20% In the funds, the bicycles in the Wellness Education Center help and support older adults to remain active and independent. Each bike costs about $ 600, and the center aims to secure 15 to 20 bicycles.
Ozarks Keystone Trail Foundation – 20% The proceeds are committed to promoting an active lifestyle outdoors and finances the starting point reports along the more than 40 miles of Ozark's Keystone Trail, which improves access and awareness of local recreation options.
Spark Gamma House – 60% A large part of the proceeds help with critical roof repairs in the Sparks Gamma House, an important local non -profit organization that offers protection and support for women and children in the crises.
Optional donations
