About the Event

Sunday, November 8th in Kennebunk, Maine & around the globe virtually!

Registration is now open! Join us for an unforgettable event the whole family will enjoy along the scenic coast of southern Maine!

Proceeds from this event will go towards METAvivor to support stage 4 breast cancer research, Dana Farber Cancer Institute to support pediatric cancer research and to Cancer Can Suck a Cactus to support our mission to foster a global community that empowers and enables exercise—because research has shown that cancer hates exercise (read why here).
