Event Description
Get Ready to Run for a Reason!
The 7th Annual Gilda’s Race for Hope Color Run is hitting the streets on Saturday, October 3, 2026 and we want YOU to be part of the movement! Whether you sprint, stroll, jog, or go solo around your neighborhood, this vibrant event is all about showing up for the cancer community with heart, hope, and a splash of color.
Join families, friends, teams, and coworkers as we unite in Broward County to honor those impacted by cancer. Every step you take helps bring light, love, and lasting support to cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and loved ones to prove that community is stronger than cancer.
Proceeds from the Race for Hope fuel Gilda’s Club South Florida’s mission to provide FREE social and emotional support to anyone affected by cancer. This race isn’t just a run, it’s a celebration of resilience, a tribute to community, and a rally for hope.
