East Texas Gold Run
About this race
Join us for the 12th Annual East Texas Gold Run. ETX Gold Run is more than a race. It’s a day to rally around the childhood cancer community: to celebrate the survivors, encourage those still in the fight, and to honor the memory of friends we’ve lost. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and the ribbon color is GOLD. Gold Network of East TX is a registered 501c3 nonprofit that serves local pediatric cancer families. All proceeds fund our local programs as well as pediatric cancer research projects. Let’s GO GOLD!
