About this run

Help us make a difference in the lives of local families affected by pediatric cancer! Every dollar you contribute will directly support these families and help us bring hope back to our community. We have set a goal to raise over $10,000, and we can’t do it without your generous support.  Additionally, we are collecting items to include in our HOPE bags for kids ages 0-18 undergoing cancer treatment. At the end of September, we will deliver these bags to local children in the hospital. Every dollar and item donated has the power to make a meaningful impact. We truly appreciate your support, as together, we can bring smiles and comfort to those in need. We are committed to promoting a healthy lifestyle and fostering a supportive community. We enjoy seeing people actively engage in outdoor activities and connect with one another. It is truly inspiring to witness individuals unite for a common purpose, prioritizing their health, enjoying nature, and participating in wellness-focused activities. Our event will be in person this year, with a virtual option. The Indy Races will take place at Lake Shawnee in Topeka, KS, on September 19, 2026 (Childhood Cancer Awareness Month). If you choose the virtual option, you can walk, run, jog, bike, or swim. The following options are ANYWHERE—inside, outside, at the gym, or even on a treadmill! Indy Races for Childhood Cancer Foundation is a tax-exempt entity under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, with an EIN of 41-3988793. Thank you for being a part of this important mission!
