About this run
Ella's Race is held to honor the legacy of Ella Newmiller. Ella was diagnosed with one of the deadliest forms of childhood cancer: Diffused Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and sadly passed away in 2012 from this terrible disease. The race raises awareness and funds for The Cure Starts Now, a leader in groundbreaking research for DIPG and other pediatric brain cancers. It is hosted by Chick-fil-A Falls Village and Six Forks & Strickland and all in person participants receive a free Chick-fil-A breakfast. After the race, participants and their families can enjoy our 'Fun zone". To learn more and register, please visit our website ellasrace.com.
