Be part of something bigger than just a walk or run — join a movement that’s saving lives in East Tennessee. For 32 incredible years, the Race Against Cancer has rallied thousands of runners, walkers, and supporters to fund cancer education, early detection, and crucial care. Thanks to over $8 million raised, medically underserved neighbors have received life-saving screenings and treatment through the Thompson Cancer Survival Center.

Whether you're lacing up your shoes or cheering from the sidelines, your participation powers hope for patients and families who need it most. Let’s race toward a future free from cancer — one step at a time.
