Race 4 Research
Race 4 Research is an annual fundraising 5K run and walk organized to support cancer research and patient services in Colorado. The event is held by the Cancer League of Colorado, a nonprofit that operates with volunteer leadership and no paid administrative staff so donations go directly to research and related services.
The event traces its history to 1997 and has raised millions of dollars through participant fees, donors, and sponsors. The broader Cancer League organization has raised and awarded around $26 million for cancer research and patient support since 1969 and currently raises more than $1 million each year.
Program elements around the race typically include fundraising efforts, a Miracle Mile, and an activities expo. The event highlights personal stories and honorees that reflect the impact of cancer and of local research funding. Presenting and other sponsors are acknowledged partners in the fundraising effort.
The format combines community participation with organized fundraising to direct proceeds to research projects and patient services in Colorado. The event listings identify the race date as Sunday, August 16, 2026. Materials emphasize the organization’s volunteer model and long history of funding cancer research within the state.
