CAMC Foundation 2026 Run for Your Life 5 Mile Run/2.5 Mile Walk - June 6, 2026

MISSION: The CAMC Foundation Run for Your Life 5 Mile Run/2.5 Mile Walk is a community-driven event dedicated to raising awareness and funds in the fight against colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States, yet it is highly preventable and treatable when detected early. Proceeds from the event directly support colorectal cancer screening programs, patient assistance, and education right here in our community, helping to ensure that more individuals receive timely screenings and critical care regardless of financial barriers.
The race was created to honor those affected by the disease and to mobilize the community around a shared mission: impacting lives through awareness, screening, and support. Participants and sponsors play a vital role in this mission, making every step in this race a step toward hope and healing. 🏃‍♀️💙
COURSE: This race is a fun and inclusive event welcoming runners, walkers, families, and even pets to participate in a meaningful and energizing morning. The 2.5-mile walk is an easy, flat route through downtown Charleston, while the 5-mile run offers a more challenging course for seasoned runners, traveling through Spring Hill Cemetery before returning to the Boulevard and finishing back at Haddad Riverfront Park.
