Description

Due to coronavirus (COVID-19), we will be turning the 2021 Race To Beat Cancer into a VIRTUAL RACE ONLY. This year you have the opportunity to run or walk your 1K, 5k, or 10k distance on any day, at any time, and from anywhere during the race window which is open from September 25 - October 2, 2021.

Our biggest priority is for the health and safety of all Race To Beat Cancer families, participants, volunteers, and community. It is our commitment to provide the safest environment as possible. Now more than ever we need your support for some of our most vulnerable fighting cancer amid COVID-19. Join us today to maintain our commitment to cancer research and supporting those that are on the frontlines treating those battling cancer.

  2. Print the Virtual 10K/5K/1 Mile race bib to attach to your clothing. Follow these instructions to get you to your printable race bib: 
  3. Anytime during race week (September 25-October 2), pick a safe place to run or walk 10K, 5K or 1 Mile on your own wearing your printed race bib.
  4. You can use MapMyRun, Strava or any other free app or your GPS watch to help you map a course or time your run. Or use the old-fashioned car odometer and a wrist watch.
  5. Run or walk your planned course. 
  6. Your fastest finish time will rise to the top, actually Run Sign Up will overwrite your result, so your quickest time can shine. This race format allows you to create the optimum conditions for you to run your best time on your favorite course (or even on your treadmill). All you need to do is select your distance upon registration and input your results by October 1, 2021 at midnight. Have fun, be safe, and get out there.
  7. Take some photos and celebrate your run! Tag @racetobeatcancer5K on Instagram and Facebook and use the hashtag #MyRace2BeatCancer so we can share your accomplishments!
  8. Post your own results (or just indicate that you finished...and hey, we're proud of you for finishing!). We will send you a link for you to upload your results.
  9. We will be holding a raffle for everyone who posts a photo of their Race To Beat Cancer accomplishments! Make sure to tag @racetobeatcancer5K and use the hashtag #MyRace2BeatCancer on Instagram and Facebook.
