The Sarcoma Stomp
About this race
This year we are Moving Hope Forward Together to raise critical funds for sarcoma research while amplifying awareness for this rare and challenging cancer. Every dollar supports innovative research across North Carolina advancing treatments and improving outcomes for patients locally and globally.
The Sarcoma Stomp is more than a fundraiser—it’s a day of hope and community! Enjoy a 5K Run/3K Walk through South Charlotte, followed by games, face painting, music, team tents, and an afterparty festival with food and drinks from Legion Brewing.
Whether you’re running, walking, fundraising, or cheering, your participation helps make a difference. Together, let’s take steps toward a cure!
