Join us for the vibrant Pink Strides 5K on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at Hubbard Park in Iowa City, Johnson! This exciting event, hosted by the American Cancer Society student organization at the University of Iowa, is a fantastic opportunity to kick off the school year while supporting a great cause. Participants can enjoy a scenic 5K run or walk, all while raising funds for crucial cancer research and patient services. Proceeds will directly benefit cancer research grants, including significant contributions to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, as well as essential lodging services for cancer patients at the Russel and Ann Gerdin Hope Lodge.

The Pink Strides 5K is not just a race; it's part of a series of mini-events leading up to the annual Relay For Life at the University of Iowa in Spring 2026. Don’t miss out on this chance to make a difference in the fight against cancer! Stay connected and follow the ACS at Iowa student organization on Instagram @acs.uiowa for the latest updates and more details about the race map and start time, which will be announced in September 2025. Lace up your running shoes and get ready to make strides for a brighter future!
