Fiddy2

In April 2005, Rauschenberg decided to run a marathon each week in 2006 all in an attempt to raise $52,000 to benefit the Mobile, Alabama chapter of L'Arche Internationale, as part of an effort he called "Fiddy2." The 52nd and final race was run on December 30, 2006, with at least $43,000 raised towards that goal. Rauschenberg decided to run a marathon each week and named the effort Fiddy2 in April 2005, later adding a charitable component.

He raised $32,000 by the end of the 2006. Continuing to raise funds, Rauschenberg has collected nearly $44,000 to date.

Rauschenberg sought financial assistance for the project and obtained sponsorship in the form of free meals from a local restaurant, free running shoes, and a free website. Despite many requests, Rauschenberg reports that he did not obtain monetary donations to offset Fiddy2's costs. Rauschenberg sent out weekly press releases in an attempt to promote the project, submitted blog postings, and sought speaking invitations. As a result, Rauschenberg was asked to speak at marathon events throughout the year and was featured as a runner on race's websites and "tell your story" blogs.. Rauschenberg gained radio, television, and print coverage and he called attention to the project with a website and blog. While Rauschenberg was not the first person to run marathons on 52 consecutive weekends (Richard Worley ran marathons on 159 consecutive weekends), nor did Rauschenberg run the most marathons in any one year (at least one person has run 79 marathons in a calendar year.) no one had run 52 marathons in one year in a faster average time.

In 2007, the Washington Running Club selected Rauschenberg as its co-Male Runner of the Year for 2006 and was named by the marathonguide.com website as one of the 20 outstanding USA marathon runners for 2006
