GRACE will be hosting an outdoor running event on May 9th 2026 at the Richland Center High School track at 1996 US Hwy 14 in Richland Center, WI. We are combining fundraising with our prevention goals of getting people to be more active. We hope you use this event as a motivator to start a training plan to get you moving and reducing cancer risk. There will be a ¼ mile kids run, a 1 mile fun run/walk, a 5K fun run/walk and a trail run(5K). We decided to go with all the different distances to try to have something for all abilities. The 1 mile fun run/walk will include the Firefighters Challenge. We will also have pledge sheets for anyone who would like to raise additional funds for GRACE.

New for 2026 is a trail run. It will be an off road adventure with some challenging hills and beautiful views of Richland Center. The trail run race is a 5K distance that will start and finish on the Richland Center high school track but it will quickly get you to an off road adventure you are sure to enjoy.

Firefighters Challenge

The Firefighters Challenge will have teams of firefighters participating with other runners/walkers. Each team will have 3 or more firefighters from the same department. Each team, regardless of size pays a $100 registration fee. Here is the catch, we want you in your gear. Firefighter teams must wear turnout gear.  Coat and pants are required; helmet and air tank are optional. Team members MUST finish together. Good walking/running shoes are highly recomended. Medals will be given to each firefighter that is identified before April 25th 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

Part of the goal of the Race for GRACE is to raise funds for people battling cancer. We have created an optional pledge sheet for you to raise additional funds from people you know to support your attendance in this event. This is completely optional and we don't want you to feel obligated to do this but any additional money raised will all be donated to GRACE. If you do raise additonal funds, please bring the pledge sheet, along with any money raised, to your packet pickup. We appreciate all your support.
