Defeat Myeloma 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk
Defeat Myeloma is a community run and walk held on June 28, 2026 at Magnuson Park in Seattle with a virtual option from anywhere. The event supports multiple myeloma research at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center; 100 percent of participant raised dollars and event proceeds go to Fred Hutch.
The event marks its 14th year in 2026 and reports more than $1.4 million raised to date. Organizers have set a goal to raise an additional one million dollars. The event emphasizes raising awareness of multiple myeloma and supporting research that seeks new treatments, improves quality of life for patients, and ultimately aims to find a cure.
In-person participants can choose among set distances while virtual participants may select their own distance. The event is described as family friendly and includes opportunities for fundraising and volunteer participation. Volunteer shifts vary from early morning to later morning and are offered for individuals and groups.
Supporting materials include a photo album from the 2025 event. The event materials also reference race information, registration, fundraising details, volunteer roles, sponsors, and a frequently asked questions section. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
