Michelob ULTRA Seltzer 5K

A virtual run event is similar to a traditional running event except the participant completes it entirely on their own. There is not a required location that the event must be completed nor a mandatory time. A virtual run event creates positive motivation by helping everyone get outside running to stay active and healthy. Many virtual runs, including the Michelob Ultra Seltzer 5K, are associated with giving back and creating awareness to a specific cause, charity, or organization. The Michelob Ultra Seltzer 5K has partnered with Pedal the Cause in order to help create a world without cancer.

Participants first choose the distance they’d like to run or ride, just as they would during a live running event. Once you  complete your registration, the next step is to conquer the distance you signed up for and earn your swag. Your 5K can be completed at any location, and at any time of the day. The important thing is to at least finish the event, complete the distance, and have fun. Once finished, simply go online and submit your time to be included in the race results page!

OUR MISSION is to provide critical funding for cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital through our annual cycling challenge. It is our hope that research funded by Pedal the Cause will ultimately lead to a cure for cancer.

Founded in 2009 with the bold model of using 100% of public donations to fund world-class cancer research, Pedal the Cause has quickly become the gateway to curing cancer – all cancers, for everyone. In this period of diminished federal funding where support typically gets funneled to already proven concepts, many potential new ideas are not deemed eligible. Pedal the Cause donations “seed” best-in-breed ideas at our beneficiaries to allow the cultivation of proof of concept and critical data. These seeded projects often turn into groundbreaking results that lead to new treatments and cures, preventions, and early detection diagnostics. Additionally, donations from Pedal the Cause make a positive economic impact in the St. Louis community as stronger research funding will continue to support this high profile and critically important segment of the St. Louis economy.
