The morning begins with a 5K and KidsK, followed by a carnival including bounce houses, rope courses, balloon animals, dancing, and food, with the highlight being all of the characters who come to support the run and enjoy the party after. Each run has been larger than the last with over 1,000 runners registered and even more people attending the carnival after. The run is organized and operated completely by volunteers, allowing for all funds raised during the day to go directly to the two families.

FanX Day 1
2023-09-21 10:00 - 21:00 | Salt Palace, 90 South West Temple, Salt Lake City, UT
Do you remember? 21st night of September?
Well you should. Because the first day of FanX is that day! We will have our booth in which we will be interacting with all of the patrons as well as raising money for Make-A-Wish. For those who signed up for a station at certain hours, this is where you’ll be our shining stars. You will also earn a free pass for that day if you signed up for more than 4 hours that day.
Our booth will be a bit different this year in that changing and storage will be tight. There won’t be a dedicated changing area as we’ve had the past couple of years. The space we will have will be dedicated primarily for tote storage. If you’re able to change beforehand, that’s great. Otherwise, we’ll have to improvise how and where to change.
Also keep in mind the schedule for Day 1 of FanX. As the website states, early floor entry will open at 1 PM for VIP and Gold Pass holders. General admission opens at 2 pm. If you’re working the booth, we recommend coming around the back loading areas so that you can get in and get ready. Message one of leadership if you have any issues.
Let’s show the fine folks at FanX how we do things.

FanX Day 2
2023-09-22 08:00 - 20:00 | Salt Palace, 90 South West Temple, Salt Lake City, UT
Day 2! Give it up for Day 2!!
We’ll be operating the same as we did the first day. Those who signed up for booth hours, make sure you double check where you’ll be and at what time. You’ll get a pass that day if you work at least 4 hours at the booth. Registration starts at 8 AM. Early entry for VIP and Gold Pass will be at 10 AM that day with general admission opening at 11 AM.
Changing and storage will be the same as the first day. So take that into account. REMINDER: The Multiclub Dinner at Tucano’s will happen that night as well. It’s only a brief walk to the restaurant located at the Gateway. If you do plan on going, we recommend probably heading over at least 30-45 minutes beforehand. The day usually winds down around 7-8 anyways.
