Run for the rare!

Join us for the Zebra Run 5k, a powerful race bringing our community together in Michigan for a special mid-year event - and across the country through our virtual race option. Participants have the option to choose if their fundraising efforts go towards adrenal cancer research at the University of Michigan or the NIH.

Dr. Gary Hammer, a leader in adrenocortical carcinoma research from the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, and Dr. Jaydira Del Rivero, a leading physician-scientist and adrenocortical carcinoma expert at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will both be in attendance in Michigan. Their participation reflects the Adrenal Cure Collective's commitment to fostering collaboration between the scientific community and the patients whose lives depend on continued research.

This isnt just a run. Its a movement.

Hosted by the Adrenal Cure Collective, the Zebra Run 5k is dedicated to raising awareness and funding for adrenal cancer - a rare disease that affects just one in a million people, yet carries a devastating impact on patients and families.

This year, we are expanding our reach.

Whether youre running with us in Michigan or participating virtually from wherever you are, you are part of something bigger. You are standing with patients, honoring warriors weve lost, and pushing forward in the fight for better treatments and a cure.

In-Person Race - Michigan
Join us on the ground for an unforgettable day of community, connection, and purpose. Expect an energizing atmosphere, meaningful moments, and the chance to run side by side with fellow supporters, patients, and families. This race will be timed.

Virtual Race - Run Anywhere
Cant make it to Michigan? Run, walk, or move your miles from anywhere in the world on race day. Whether its your neighborhood, treadmill, or favorite trail - your participation still makes an impact.

All participants will get a custom shirt, medal, and swag! If you're running virtually, it will be shipped to you.

Why We Run
We run for those currently fighting.
We run in memory of those weve lost.
We run because adrenal cancer cannot be ignored.

Every step taken and every dollar raised goes toward advancing critical research and supporting the adrenal cancer community.

Together, we are one in a million - but we are not alone.
