While we love seeing all our runners and walkers in person, we do offer a virtual option. We will also feature team registrations for groups of 10 or more at a discounted price.
Prizes will be awarded for the Top Male and Female Overall as well as for the Top 3 males and females in each age group in both the runner and walker divisions. ALL live and virtual participants registering by August 10th will receive BOTH a shirt and a medal.

We want to thank those of you who race with us year after year and welcome the newcomers! Our successful races allow us to continue to support cancer warriors and their families We can’t do it without you and can never thank you enough for all the support!
