Event summary
Join us on Saturday, September 28, 2024, for the Seventh Annual Brave Like Gabe 5K in St. Paul, Minnesota, where we run not just for ourselves, but for hope and research in the fight against rare cancers. This uplifting event invites both in-person participants and virtual runners from around the globe to raise funds and awareness for Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC), a rare and incurable cancer that affects over 1,200 people in the U.S. each year. Inspired by pro-runner Gabe Grunewald, who bravely battled ACC, this 5K promotes her legacy and the ongoing efforts of the Brave Like Gabe Foundation to fund critical research.
Participants can look forward to a spirited atmosphere with a brand-new t-shirt design, the fourth annual Abby's Run for kids, and the opportunity to make a difference while training for their 5K. Together, we can keep #runningonhope and support the vital work of the Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Research Foundation. Don’t miss this chance to be part of a community that is dedicated to finding better treatments for rare cancers. Sign up today and let’s make this event a memorable one!

Organiser's Description
"WE RUN ON HOPE. WE RUN FOR RESEARCH. WE ARE NOT GIVING UP." - GABE GRUNEWALD
Join us in-person and virtually for the Seventh Annual Brave Like Gabe 5K to raise funds for rare cancer research. We will be running in-person in St. Paul, Minnesota, as well as welcoming runners virtually from around the world.
Gabe Grunewald-- pro-runner, rare cancer advocate, and founder of the Brave Like Gabe Foundation [http://www.bravelikegabe.org]-- passed away in June 2019 from Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC). Her legacy with the foundation continues to inspire people to keep #runningonhope while also working to find better, more effective treatments for ACC and other types of rare cancers.
Each year in the US, an average of 1,224 people are newly diagnosed with ACC, a rare and incurable cancer. This year, as always, the proceeds from the BLG 5K support our partners at the Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Research Foundation [https://www.accrf.org/], the superheroes funding critical research on Gabes specific type of cancer.
There will also be an exciting new t-shirt design, the fourth annual Abby's Run for kids, and the chance to support rare cancer research by raising funds while you train for your 5K.
