The Hustle 1 Mile/5K Fun Run

Run with purpose. Hustle for hope.

From One Child’s Fight to a Community Movement

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, it affects more than just one family — it shakes an entire community. What began as a simple fun run to support one child has grown into a powerful tradition of hope, unity, and purpose.

Since 2012, our community has come together every year to raise awareness and fund life-saving childhood cancer research. We've donated over $100,000 to support gentler treatments and the fight for a cure.

We run for the kids who can’t.
We run for better outcomes and brighter futures.
We run because 4% isn’t enough.*

Join us. Together, we hustle for hope.

*Only 4% of the federal government's cancer research funding is allocated specifically to childhood cancer.
