Being part of a nationwide alliance against childhood cancer
As a St. Jude Hero, you'll join thousands of runners from across the United States who have chosen to run for St. Jude. St. Jude Heroes are a select group with one common goal: to use their race to further lifesaving research and treatment for St. Jude kids.
Be a part of something bigger
St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. As a St. Jude Hero, you'll make a real difference. The funds you raise help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food. Learn more about how fundraising helps.
Two options to fundraise for the kids of St. Jude.
Commit to a fundraising level with corresponding benefits
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Premier level St. Jude Heroes receive exclusive benefits and race-weekend perks. Plus, St. Jude Heroes are given an early registration period to secure their spot before registration opens to the general public.
Set your own goal and earn rewards based on how much you raise.
As a general participant, your registration fee helps us put on a great race, but fundraising is the best way to support the kids of St. Jude. There is no fundraising commitment for general participants. Get started today and help us reach our goal of more than $16M in support of the mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®
