The proceeds of this race will support the many services and programs offered at the Peitz Cancer Support House which focus on fully supporting the needs of our community during their cancer diagnosis and well beyond.

As part of this race and honor event, we encourage you to set up an individual &/or team fundraising page. There will be prizes for the top individual fundraiser and top team fundraiser.

Community and companionship are such an important part of the cancer journey as well as for overall health and wellness. As such, we are encouraging and challenging you to grab some friends, family or coworkers and register together! Come together to help us outrun cancer.
