2nd Annual HMS Invictus & DemiCon Charity Zero-K Marathon

This is a charity fundraiser Zero-K Marathon. It is hosted by The Royal Manticoran Navy – Honor Harrington Fan Association ship, HMS Invictus SD-406 and DemiCon 28.

The charities the fundraiser are supporting are the Big Cat Rescue, the the TRMN charity, and Everybody Wins! Iowa, the official charity of DemiCon 28.

How it works

  1. Before the convention: Purchase your t-shirt from Tee Originals online at https://teeoriginals.com/campaign/hms-invictus-demicon-28-charity-zero-k-marathon/. You can have the shirt shipped to the convention for free, or you can have it shipped to your home. If you ship it to your home you will be responsible for the shipping and handling.
  2. At the convention: Line up with us in the parking lot (weather permitting) behind the Zero-K starting line. When the marathon begins take one step forward to cross the finish line. (You read that correctly. The starting line is also the finish line!)

Thanks for helping us support Everybody Wins! Iowa and the Big Cat Rescue.
