About this race
Event Overview
We are holding our fourth annual fundraising run on August 15, 2026. This run is held in honor of Ezra Blue. Ezra left us too early because of an aggressive brain tumor that failed initial treatment. He was supposed to begin a novel treatment for refractory brain tumors, but became too ill to begin treatment right before starting. All proceeds from this run go to Seattle Children’s Hospital, particularly to the research projects related to the type of brain cancer he had, medulloblastoma.
