Race For Hope Derriere Dash
Race For Hope Derriere Dash is a community 5K race scheduled for October 25, 2026. The event is organized to remember lives lost to colorectal cancer, bring support to people undergoing treatment, and advance awareness and education about the disease.
The event began in 2004 as a 5K created to highlight young onset colorectal cancer. Organizers state the race raises funds for research and related programs and focuses on educating the public about signs and symptoms, with particular attention to people under 50.
Organizers note broader concerns about rising colorectal cancer rates in younger age groups and reference published research that warned of increasing incidence and mortality. The race continues as part of ongoing efforts to fund research, improve facilities and programs, and increase public knowledge about screening and warning signs.
Organizers are in planning stages for the 2026 event and are seeking support for planning and execution. Additional material connected with the event includes registration information, race day information, a photo gallery of past events, sponsor listings, and raffle items.
