Joshua's Wish 5K Run/Walk & Kids Fun Run

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month – a time to come together, take action, and make a difference. Join us for the 16th Annual Joshua's Wish 5K Run/Walk & Kids Fun Run on Saturday, September 20, 2027, at Tattnall Square Park in Macon, GA.

The 5K begins at 8:00 AM, with the Kids Fun Run starting shortly afterward. This is a chip-timed event, and medals will be awarded to the top 3 finishers in each age group. Every child participating in the Kids Fun Run will receive a medal!

It's a day of fitness, fun, and family – all in support of a powerful cause: raising awareness and funding for childhood cancer research.

Form a team, bring the whole family, and register today! Let's make every step count for kids fighting cancer.
