Get ready for an inspiring day at the 11th Annual East Texas Gold Run on Saturday, September 20, 2025, in Tyler, Smith County! This vibrant event celebrates the childhood cancer community, uniting survivors, supporters, and families to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer initiatives. As September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, participants are encouraged to wear gold to honor those affected by this cause.

Join the festivities starting at 7 AM with packet pickup and walk-up registration, followed by an uplifting opening ceremony at 8 AM. The excitement continues with the Kids Dash at 8:20 AM, where no registration is required, and the official race begins shortly after with a 5K at 8:30 AM and a 1-mile run at 8:35 AM. All proceeds from the East Texas Gold Run benefit local pediatric cancer families and support vital cancer research projects. Don't miss this opportunity to make a difference and show your support – let's GO GOLD together!
