Teams of 5-15 members formed from companies, schools, clubs, and friends and families, walk, run or roll (wheel chairs) in relay fashion for 24 hours around the track.

Cancer survivors from all over the community are encouraged to join us in a celebration of their victories. Remember: Remembering loved ones lost to the disease, and honoring survivors are the key reasons for the Luminaria Ceremony, which is held after dark. Luminarias line the track and continue to glow as we walk throughout the night. At Relay, people who have walked alongside those battling cancer can grieve and find healing. Fight Back: A new ceremony this year, Fight Back symbolizes the emotional commitment we each make to saving lives and fighting back against cancer year-round. The action we take represents what we are willing to do for ourselves, for our loved ones and/or for our community to fight cancer year round and to commit to saving a life. WHEN: The event begins at 10:00 am on Saturday, July 11th and the fun progresses non-stop for 24 hours, concluding on Sunday, July 12th at 10:00 am.
