Cancer Can Suck A Cactus 5/10k: Virtual 10k Run/Walk Virtual 5k Run/Walk Virtual Kids Race

Join us Sunday, November 8th along the scenic coast of southern Maine in Kennebunk & around the globe virtually!

Registration for our Maine race is still open but our virtual race packets are sold out. 

If you would like to still participate virtually without receiving a race packet (bib, stickers, patch) in the mail, please click on these links [10k, 5k, kids race] and select "join waiting list" to let us know you're interested, we will send you a registration link. 

Proceeds from this event will go towards METAvivor to support stage 4 breast cancer research, Dana Farber Cancer Institute to support pediatric cancer research and to Cancer Can Suck a Cactus to support our mission to foster a global community that empowers and enables exercise because research has shown that cancer hates exercise (read why here).
