Join us for the vibrant 10th Annual Run of Hope, scheduled on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Rio Vista Community Park. This special event brings together runners, walkers, families, and supporters to raise vital funds for Arizona families facing cancer. Experience a race that transcends running—it's an empowering celebration of resilience and community support. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or simply want to show solidarity, there’s something for everyone. The 5K Run/Walk offers the perfect opportunity to make every step count towards financial relief for those in need. For families with younger members, we have reserved the 1-Mile Fun Run as an engaging and memorable event. Embrace a day filled with inspiration and camaraderie. Honor loved ones lost or celebrated through acts of remembrance and support. The atmosphere will be one of unity and hope, reflecting on the strength found in collective action against adversity. The race begins at Rio Vista Community Park located at 8866 W Thunderbird Rd, Peoria, AZ 85381. On-site registration and packet pickup start early at 7:00 AM, with the main event kicking off at 8:00 AM for the 5K Run/Walk. A few minutes later, at 8:10 AM, the 1-Mile Fun Run will commence. Each step you take contributes to providing critical support—groceries, utilities, rent, and transportation—for families navigating cancer treatment challenges. Your participation brings tangible hope in a meaningful way. Support this mission by becoming a sponsor of the event. Together, we can lighten the burden for those affected by cancer. For more information on sponsorship opportunities or to get involved, contact Melissa at melissa@familiesraisinghope.org. Together, let's run, walk, and bring hope. We eagerly look forward to seeing you at the starting line!
