Cancer Sucks 5K
The Cancer Sucks 5K is a community running event held in Canton, Georgia. Organized by The Shelley Foundation, the race serves as a fundraiser to provide support for individuals and families facing the difficulties of a cancer diagnosis. The foundation was established following a stage four colon cancer diagnosis in 2022 and focuses its efforts on raising funds for cancer-related assistance.
The event features a single distance:
- 5 km
The race takes place at Etowah River Park, located at 600 Brown Industrial Parkway. The course is designed as a loop or out-and-back that begins and ends within the park grounds. Participants run along the paved greenway that follows the Etowah River. This route is recognized as a Peachtree Qualifier, making it an official timed event for those looking to qualify for other regional races.
Registration is open to the public through the designated event platform. The Shelley Foundation uses the proceeds from the event to channel resources into outreach and financial assistance for those navigating health hardships. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
