VIRTUAL OPTION
We have created a virtual race option for those who would like to participate but are not local, or do not feel comfortable attending an in-person race. Here's how the virtual race works:
Sign Up to Participate
The first step is registering and making it official! Click register now at the top of this page to sign up for the individual race or all 6 races in the series. During registration, you can also opt-in to report your race results via text or email (we’ll explain more below).
Make an Extra Donation or Sign Up to Fundraise
You will also have a chance to make an extra donation or sign up to fundraise. Every dollar helps us assist individuals with brain cancer and their families; providers who are pursuing integrative approaches to healing; and researchers who are investigating traditional and complementary cancer-related therapies. Donations will help us carry on our mission and continue offering our programs.
