Race to Cure Sarcoma Chicago

The Race to Cure Sarcoma Chicago is an annual community event held at Diversey Harbor in Chicago. Organized by the Sarcoma Foundation of America, this event brings together individuals impacted by sarcoma to raise awareness and funds for scientific research. Sarcoma is a rare form of cancer that affects bone or connective tissues such as muscle, fat, and nerves.

Participants can choose from several event formats held at the 2601 N. Cannon Drive location or participate remotely via virtual options. The available distances and categories include:

• 5K Run (Timed) - Available for adults and children aged 6-12.
• 5K Run or 1 Mile Walk (Untimed) - Available for adults and children aged 6-12.
• Virtual Event - Options for both adults and children to participate from any location.

The event serves as a gathering point for the local community to support over 200,000 patients and families currently affected by the disease. It features a course centered around the harbor area, with options for competitive timed running or recreational walking. Participants have the opportunity to join or create fundraising teams to support the Sarcoma Foundation of America's mission. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
