Being part of a Get Your Rear in Gear event means joining North America’s largest grassroots movement in the fight against colorectal cancer. Your actions and voice have the power to change the lives of local patients, survivors, and caregivers!
All funds raised from the event stay local. The Colon Cancer Coalition is unique in that funds raised at this event stay in the community to get people screened, directly support local colon cancer patients, and educate
the community. A special portion of the race, the Blue Mile, pays tribute to all who have been affected by colon cancer through customizable signs that you can take and display throughout the year. Most importantly, Get Your Rear in Gear is about more than getting active. It’s a movement to spread awareness about this disease and educate our friends and family about the importance of getting educated and screened on time.
We will definitely be there to support with a registration table. If you would like to volunteer at our table during the Get Your Rear in Gear run/walk, please register now! Those volunteering at the table will not be able to participate in the runs. If you'd rather be a part of the race - that's great too! You can register to run or walk here.
