About the Event

Raiders on the Run is more than just a race—it's an opportunity for the Greenville High School community to come together and make a difference. Through participation and sponsorships, we can help provide support and encouragement to individuals and families facing the challenges of cancer.

Funds raised through this event will help Neighborhood Cancer Connection continue its mission of offering assistance, resources, and support programs to those affected by cancer in our community.

Why We Run

Cancer affects individuals and families in countless ways beyond medical treatment alone. Through Raiders on the Run, we are raising funds to support the vital services provided by Neighborhood Cancer Connection to local cancer patients and their loved ones.

Funds raised help provide free support groups and counseling services, financial assistance for prescription medications, transportation to treatment, and help with household expenses. Donations also support access to nutritional supplements, hygiene supplies, durable medical equipment, wigs, and other essential resources that improve quality of life during and after treatment.

By participating in Raiders on the Run, you are helping ensure that members of our community facing cancer have access to the support, resources, and compassionate care they need throughout their journey. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of local families affected by cancer.

Additional Event Information

To ensure availability, participants are encouraged to register early, as T-shirts are not guaranteed for registrations received after September 5, 2026.
