The St. Jude Runs is more than just an annual charity event; it’s a powerful movement dedicated to raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Since its inception in 1982, this inspiring initiative has raised over $88 million, bringing us closer to a world where no child should die in the dawn of life.
On August 2, 2025, as a St. Jude Runner, you will embark on a journey that transcends personal achievement. You’ll be running not just for a time, a record, or a medal, but for hope—hope for children and families navigating their darkest hours. Every step you take will contribute to lifesaving cures, the sharing of groundbreaking research, and the assurance that families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
By choosing to be a St. Jude Runner, you are making your journey to the finish line part of something bigger. Together, we can pave the way for a future where every child has the chance to thrive. Your participation is a beacon of hope, lighting the way for those who need it most.
