About
Get ready for an unforgettable sprint to make a difference at the Runway to a Cure 5K! Happening on Saturday, September 19 at Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, Illinois, we're taking strides on the actual runway starting bright and early at 8:00am, right after packet pick-up at 7:00am. This isn't just a race; it's a heartfelt gathering to fuel cancer research and celebrate the indomitable spirit of those touched by this disease. Envision a day filled with hope: soaring skydivers honoring our heroes, a moving Survivor Recognition Lap, and a community united in joy and determination. And that's not all – while the music pumps you up, take part in raffles, a silent auction, and cap it all off at the JumpRun Café. Your steps on that runway aren't just for fitness; they're steps toward groundbreaking cancer research. Together, our strides are powerful – together, we run toward hope, toward healing, toward a cure.Runway To A Cure 5K, Survivor Run/Walk and Family Walk / Run
