Run for Gus is now Lurie Children’s Race Against Cancer
Run for Gus is evolving into Lurie Children’s Race Against Cancer, a new flagship event that will unite the pediatric cancer community in support of children and families cared for by the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Lurie Children’s.
This evolution honors the legacy and spirit of Run for Gus while expanding its reach to help even more children facing cancer.
Introducing Lurie Children’s Race Against Cancer
New Date: Thursday, September 17, 2026
The event is moving to Childhood Cancer Awareness Month so our community can come together and go gold for kids facing cancer.
Participants can still look forward to all the event traditions they love, including:
- 5K Run
- 1-Mile Walk
- Kids’ Dash
- Post-race celebration at Diversey Harbor
The Young Associates Board will continue to host the event and carry forward the energy and community that have always made this event so special.
Funds raised will support the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Lurie Children’s, with options for participants to direct their fundraising to areas they’re most passionate about.
