Registration fees for Hoosiers Outrun Cancer do not include a donation—they cover the cost of a shirt, bib, timing chip, race expenses, and event expenses. If you would like to help fund the programs above, consider making a donation above the registration fee. You can also share your team or individual fundraising page and ask others to contribute toward your team or individual fundraising goal. All funds stay in South Central Indiana supporting cancer patients and their families in Bloomington, Monroe County, and surrounding areas. Our goal this year is to collectively raise $50,000 in donations to support these programs.
