When you sign up as a Huntsman Hero for one of our partner events—including Salt Lake City Marathon—you commit to fundraising either $250 (5K and 10K distances) or $500 (half marathon, full marathon, or bike tour) for Huntsman Cancer Institute. Your fundraising needs to be completed prior to event day. Need help or have fundraising questions? Email Jen Murano at [email protected]. 

Yes! Please contact Jen Murano ([email protected]) for instructions on how to do this through the Huntsman Heroes team and the Salt Lake City Marathon event.

NOTE: As partners with Salt Lake City Marathon, we follow its timelines and guidelines for event registration, transfers, and distance changes.

The VIP party is a celebration for YOU! As a thank-you for fundraising, after you complete your event, we provide a gathering place with food, cold drinks, and massages! The Huntsman Heroes VIP tent is generally located near the finish line at your event.

Yes! If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, please reach out to us at [email protected].

One hundred percent of all funds raised accelerates groundbreaking cancer research at Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City. By funding efforts to better understand the beginnings of cancer and more effectively treat cancer, you help relieve suffering and improve the quality of life for cancer patients, survivors, and their families. Cancer patients, caregivers, and donors are encouraged to come together in a myriad of ways to fight cancer individually and collectively through fundraising programs like Huntsman Heroes.

Participants and donors even have the opportunity to restrict their funds to support research for a specific type of cancer.

You can! During the registration process, you can choose to designate your funds toward a specific cancer type, or you can leave it as "Area of Greatest Need," and the funds will be dispersed accordingly.

NOTE: If you join a team that already has a designation in place, your funds raised will go toward that designation.

The best incentive is getting the world closer to a future free from cancer. To add a little more fun to the mix, check out these incentives:

• Raise $500 and receive a Huntsman Heroes team jersey and an invite to our end-of-year celebration
• Raise $1,000 and receive a Huntsman Heroes team jacket or cycling bibs
