From the Race Organizer
The Greater Richland Area Cancer Elimination Inc. (GRACE) will have the fourth annual Race for GRACE event on May 8, 2027. The event will focus on fundraising and prevention of cancer. The goal is to get people excited to get active and help in their own prevention of cancer, along with raising funds to help people currently battling cancer. There will be a ¼ mile kids run, a 1 mile fun run/walk, a 5k fun run/walk and a 3.5 mile trail run/walk. All races start and finish on the Richland Center High School track. A big part of what GRACE does is financially help people battling cancer. Optional pledge sheets will be available to help raise additional funds for GRACE. If you can't get your friends to join you in one of the race events, try to get them to support you on a pledge sheet to raise funds for GRACE. The 3.5 mile trail run/walk will be like a cross country course. We will have a well marked, off road course with challenging hills and beautiful views of Richland Center. If you are up for a challenge or just looking for something different than a normal road race, this event is for you! First Responder Challenge Our 1 mile race will have teams of first responders competing against each other in a competitive but fun atmosphere. We will have separate divisions for firefighters, police and emergency medical services. Each team will have 3 or more members from the same department. Each team will have a race bib and be chipped timed to compete against others in their division. Team members MUST finish together! Each team, regardless of size pays a $100 registration fee. Medals will be given to each first responder that is identified before April 17th and participates in the 1 mile race. Optionally, you can have a pledge sheet for your department to raise additional funds for GRACE. You can register your team by sending an email to: AllenK@walkwithgrace.com Firefighters Firefighter teams must wear turnout gear. Coat and pants are required; helmet and air tank are optional.
