Description

Join us for the 11th Annual Cancer Care Run & Walk on Saturday, October 7, 2023, at 9 a.m. at Martens Park, 710 Lincoln Ave, Lancaster, Ohio 43130. This 5K Run and 2-mile walk will start and end at Marten's Park, featuring a new this year separate start for each event. The race is on a flat and fast paved bike path with a course sweeper team - no one finishes last!

In 2022, our race registration hit record numbers with 200 runners and walkers strong who raised more than $10,000! In 2023 we hope to break 200 participants and exceed $10,000 raised - we know we can do that with your help. All event proceeds fund local patients battling cancer. This fund was started by TWIG 1 in September 2007. It has inspired the community to give to local cancer patients through the FMC Foundation. Local cancer patients benefit by receiving nutritional supplements, life-saving screenings, and diagnostic testing such as mammograms and colonoscopies for patients who could not afford them. Access to treatment and support close to home is crucial for members of our community, and the Cancer Care Fund is one way to make this possible.

Can't attend? Another way to support the event is by purchasing a Memorial Sign to be displayed at the start line/finisher's chute on the day of the race in honor of a loved one. Memorial signs can be purchased online for $25 each.

We thank all of our past sponsors and the community for supporting our brave cancer patients and their family members. If you have questions, please visit us on Facebook @CancerCareRun.
