Organiser's Description
The Carolina Strive RISE UP! Run Over Cancer 5K will be a city-wide race to raise funds for area cancer research/treatment. Funds will stay local to support patients through UNC Health Nash Foundations Cancer Fund. The Foundation works to fill gaps in health care and community outreach through programs that are not part of the hospitals regular operating budget or when additional support is needed. Proceeds from this event will go specifically to help cancer patients with things like medication, transportation, and nutritional supplements.
The event check-in starts at 7:00am EST with a 1K Fun Run start at 8:00am followed by the 5K at 8:30am. There will be individual awards (multiple age ranges), Carolina Strive drawstring swag bags, Carolina Strive hand towels, and one size fits all wristbands to commemorate our annual event. All participants will receive their personal time and a certificate.
