WALK & RUN DETAILS

Whether you’re racing toward the finish line or savoring a relaxed walk, SportsFest has a distance for you. All walk and run options are family-friendly and untimed, so the focus remains where it belongs: showing up, moving together, and making an impact.

Every participant who registers online will receive a SportsFest t-shirt at check-in. Fundraise $500 or more, and you’ll also earn a pair of running shoes from our incredible partners at Salt Lake Running Company—a big thank-you for going the extra mile.

Fundraising is not required to participate, but we encourage you to set a goal and give it a try. With 100% of every donation supporting the mission of Huntsman Cancer Institute, every fundraiser and every gift truly makes a difference.
