How to participate

Whether you are a first time participant or trying for a new personal record, why not run for a reason? Turn your passion for getting fit into something truly heroic. Become a St. Jude Hero and help St. Jude Children's Research Hospital change the way the world treats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. By fundraising as a Hero, you can ensure no family ever pays St. Jude for anything. And because we freely share our research with the global medical community, every child saved at St. Jude means thousands more saved worldwide.

Join a community of people across the country who chose to run for something bigger; run for a reason!
