The NACF Board was established for the purpose of assisting local charitable groups and causes that promote wellness, fitness, health education, and activities in the Newfound region.

Friends and fitness partners, Audrey Goudie & Garlyn Manganiello created this amazingly fun local race, and here’s how it went...

Audrey always wanted to organize a road race and craved for it to be unique, fun and near beautiful Newfound Lake. Garlyn wanted to host a fun, local event touting great food which would benefit a local charity. One morning after finishing her favorite Whittemore Point Loop run, Audrey dreamt of indulging in a delicious Basic Ingredients sticky bun and thought what fun it would be to offer sticky buns to racers at the end of a race! The two ladies discussed it and, well... the rest is history -“Run Your Buns Off” was born! 

The inaugural race was held in 2009 and it has since grown to be a wonderful community fundraising event. Since that time we have enjoyed being able to give back to our community so much that we have formed a 501(c)3 to continue assisting local causes. Our name, the Newfound Area Charitable Fund.
