Relay For Life is a fun fundraising event for the Cancer Society that brings communities together to celebrate and remember the lives of those who have been affected by cancer.
Relay For Life is an inspirational and super fun event for everyone of all fitness levels, during which we celebrate with survivors, remember loved one lost to cancer and come together as a community to fight back against cancer. Teams set up camp and take turns relay-style walking or running around a track for 12 hours while enjoying a carnival atmosphere of live music, entertainment, games, actives and fantastic community camaraderie.
Enter for $20 per team member or $10 for a school student. Teams of at least 10 people are strongly encouraged.
