Get Your Rear in Gear Reno

Get Your Rear in Gear Reno is a community 5K run and walk held at Sparks Marina Park in Sparks, Nevada on July 24, 2027. The event raises funds and awareness for colorectal cancer, with proceeds kept local to support screenings, patient resources, education, and community grants.

The event program includes a kid's fun run, a 5K timed run and an untimed walk, plus an awards ceremony. Colorectal cancer survivors and patients register for free. Information about registration fees and packet pick-up is listed as coming soon for 2027.

The Blue Mile offers custom corrugated yard signs to celebrate, honor, or remember someone impacted by colon cancer; staff place the signs on the course and participants may take their sign home after the event. Funds raised through the event help create and support local programs that aim to remove barriers to screening, inform the public about signs and symptoms, reduce patients' financial burden, and support research.

Location details: Sparks Marina Park, 300 Howard Dr, Sparks, NV 89434. The event is organized by the Colon Cancer Coalition as part of its Get Your Rear in Gear series and involves local sponsors and community partners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
