From the organizers

Join the fight against cancer, as our community rallies together to honor, celebrate and remember loved ones and take action for lifesaving change.

For more than 46 years, thousands of Road America Walk/Run participants and volunteers have come together and raised over $5.2 million to save lives from cancer. This year our goal is to raise $200,000! Money raised from the Road America Walk/Run help fund local programs and services and fund critical cancer research. The Road America Walk/Run continues to be more than just an event - it's a movement, a community of like-minded survivors, caregivers, volunteers and running enthusiasts who believe that the future can be free from the pain and suffering caused by cancer.
