What are Charity Bibs?
Charity Bibs are guaranteed race entries allocated to NGOs to raise support and receive donations from hopeful participants of the event.
A runner has to commit to donate/fundraise a minimum amount as agreed between the donor and NGO to be allotted a Charity Bib.
*Charity Bibs are available subject to availability of running slots in the chosen race category.
Why Choose a Charity Bib?
Runners who participate through a Charity Bib can look forward to:
Guaranteed entry to the event (even after general registrations close)
The name of the supported NGO printed on the running bib
Waiver of qualification timing criteria for the Open 10K category
Minimum Donation Requirement
A minimum donation amount per Charity Bib is defined by the Philanthropy Partner (UWBe) for each race category. This minimum ensures fairness and consistency across all NGOs. NGOs are encouraged to request higher donation amounts from donors based on their fundraising goals.
| Race Category | Jan & Feb | Mar & Apr | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open 10K | INR 5,000 | INR 6,000 | INR 500 |
| Majja Run | INR 3,000 | INR 4,000 | INR 300 |
Important
The run registration fee (based on race category) is separate from the donation and must be paid directly to the Event Promoter.
Charity Bib Manager (For NGOs)
Each NGO has access to a Charity Bib Manager within their dashboard on the UWBe Philanthropy Portal. This tool allows NGOs to:
- •View allocated Charity Bibs
- •Assign bibs to donors
- •Request additional bibs
- •Track donations linked to each bib
Charity Bib Allocation Rules (For NGOs)
Upon registration, each NGO is initially allocated one (1) Charity Bib. This bib may be used for any race category, subject to availability of running slots.
Once a bib is used and a donation is secured, a new bib is automatically allocated. NGOs will continue to receive bibs until 3 April 2026 or until bibs in the required race category are exhausted — whichever is earlier.
Important:
If an NGO wants more than one Bib at the same time, they can send a request for Bibs by writing to us at tcsw10k@uwbengaluru.org. Once UWBe confirms the request, these Bibs will appear in the NGO's Charity Bib Manager.

Verification and Bib Reservation

Bib Utilisation
Once the reserved bib is utilized (i.e., assigned to the runner and processed), the NGO becomes eligible to request the next Charity Bib, subject to availability.
