Get Your Rear in Gear Arizona 5K Run/Walk
The event is a community 5K run/walk at Freestone Park in Gilbert, Arizona on Saturday, March 6, 2027. It is presented to raise funds for the Colon Cancer Coalition and to support the organization's local grant programs.
Registration for the 2027 event is scheduled to open in October. Information about registration fees, the event schedule, and pre-event packet pickup will be published in the fall when registration opens.
The event includes the Blue Mile, a feature where custom corrugated yard signs can be placed along the course to celebrate, honor, or remember someone impacted by colon cancer. After the event, participants may take their signs home.
Funds raised through this event support local programs. Grant awards from Get Your Rear in Gear are used to reduce barriers to screening, educate the public about signs and symptoms of colon cancer, lower patients' financial burdens, and fund research related to colon cancer. The event notes that funds raised stay in the community to support these local efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
