🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

The Carolina Strive RISE UP! Run Over Cancer 5K will be a city-wide race to raise funds for area cancer research/treatment. Funds will stay local to support patients through UNC Health Nash Foundation’s Cancer Fund. The Foundation works to fill gaps in health care and community outreach through programs that are not part of the hospital’s regular operating budget or when additional support is needed. Proceeds from this event will go specifically to help cancer patients with things like medication, transportation, and nutritional supplements.
