Lace up your walking or running shoes and help us continue the fight against childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases at the annual Give. Hope. Run. to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

This year's 5K race will once again take place at Burdette Park on Evansville's west side beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 18th, and is open to walkers and runners of all ages and skill sets.

The Evansville race has the tradition of being the largest St. Jude Run in the country, so let's keep showing the rest of the country how it's done!  This year's race will once again feature a short Kid's Dash around the parking lot in front of the pool, so be sure to bring the whole family! Registration for the event is $15 per adult and $5 per child between the ages of 3 and 12. Sign up now through the Give Hope. Run. website.

The money raised from the event will go directly to St. Jude to help fund the groundbreaking research and treatment of childhood cancer taking place around the clock, 365 days a year.
