Lace up for a cause at the Run FORE Cancer on Saturday, September 19, 2026, in scenic Scottsdale, Arizona. This impactful event invites runners of all abilities to tackle either an 8K or 5K distance, all while contributing to vital cancer research and treatment. Held at the beautiful Silverado Golf Club, participants will enjoy a unique running experience on the cart paths. Typical race day conditions in mid-September showcase morning lows around 68F, rising to highs near 100F, with a minimal 3% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but generally dry desert run.

The Run FORE Cancer offers a distinctive course that winds along the "Front 9" for the 5K or the "Full 18" for the 8K, utilizing the smooth, flat cart paths of the Silverado Golf Club. This provides a fast and accessible route, welcoming to both competitive runners and those pushing strollers or wheelchairs. Starting and finishing at the Clubhouse, the course offers a fresh perspective of the lush golf grounds. All finishers are rewarded with a custom event medal and a Dri-Fit tech t-shirt, while age group awards celebrate top performers. Runners can also enjoy a pre- and post-race "Athlete's Brunch" featuring granola bars, fruit, and water.

More than just a race, Run FORE Cancer is a powerful community tribute, originally established in memory of Kathy Maxwell. Now in its 14th year, the event has raised over $400,000 to benefit the University of Arizona Cancer Center, directly supporting cancer research and patient care. Joining this run means becoming part of a legacy of hope, running in memory of loved ones, and contributing to a future free from cancer.
