About this race

In celebration of our 25th anniversary, Student Movement Against Cancer (SMAC) invites supporters everywhere to take part in 25 for 25, a virtual challenge designed to honor 25 years of student leadership and impact. Between April 15 and May 15, registered participants are encouraged to complete any combination of 25 challenges -- from movement and wellness to kindness, community connection, and cancer awareness. 

How it works:

  1. Register for our event! 
  2. Create or Join a Team during registration to celebrate alongside friends
  3. Complete as many challenges as you can during the event window (4/15 - 5/15) and snap photos of yourself in action!
  4. Log your results on our event page
  5. Fundraise or donate (optional, but so appreciated!)

Your registration comes with a FREE commemorative SMAC t-shirt! Throw it on, rep the mission, and let everyone know you’re part of something bigger.

Win prizes along the way!

Participants are encouraged to reach event milestones: 10, 15, 20, and 25 challenges. Every milestone you hit earns you an entry into a raffle for an awesome prize! All winners will be contacted after May 15.

Team up and make it even more fun! We’ll be raffling off two additional individual prizes exclusively to participants who join a team. One winner will be selected from the team with the most members, and one winner will be selected from the team with the highest number of 25-challenge completers. Whether you go solo or rally a crew, every step counts—and every milestone is worth celebrating!

Join us. Move with purpose. Celebrate 25 years of student power!
