Children's Cancer Network's Run to Fight Children's Cancer

The Children's Cancer Network's Run to Fight Children's Cancer is a multi-distance athletic event held at Riverview Park in Mesa, Arizona. The event serves as a gathering for the community to support families affected by childhood cancer. Participants can choose between several road race distances and walking events held within the park grounds.

The event offers a variety of participation options to accommodate different preferences:

  • 10K Race
  • 5K Race
  • Hero Walk/Run
  • 5K Walker or Runner AND Cancer Hero Walk
  • 10K Walker or Runner AND Cancer Hero Walk
  • Virtual Runner/Walk

While fundraising is not a requirement for participation, the event provides opportunities for individuals to create fundraising teams. All funds raised through these efforts are directed toward financial assistance and family-centered programs provided by the Children's Cancer Network. This organization supports families facing the high costs associated with medical treatments and non-medical expenses such as travel and childcare.

The physical races take place at the Mesa Riverview Park, located at 2100 W Rio Salado Pkwy. For those unable to attend in person, the virtual option allows for participation from any location. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
