This isn't just another race—it is a day to honor Warrior Jace Thompson, celebrate courage, and stand together for every child fighting pediatric brain cancer.

💚 Wear GREEN for DIPG Awareness
💛 Wear GOLD for Pediatric Cancer Awareness

Let's turn the runway into a sea of green and gold as we run, walk, remember, and fight for a future where no family hears the words, "Your child has DIPG."

Every step sends a powerful message:

Our children deserve better. They deserve hope. They deserve a cure.

 
💚 Why We Run
Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is one of the deadliest forms of childhood brain cancer. It steals futures, changes families forever, and currently has no cure.

Jace's legacy continues through every mile, every participant, every volunteer, and every donation.

When you register, you're doing more than participating in a race you are becoming part of a movement determined to Drive Out DIPG.

Whether you're chasing a personal best, walking beside loved ones, pushing a stroller, or participating virtually from across the country, YOU make a difference.

Together, we can give families hope and help fund research that brings us one step closer to a cure.
