We hate cancer and last year you proved that a pandemic didn’t change your stance either… you hate cancer too!  So what do you say, let’s do this and hate cancer together!  We are ecstatic to bring back the ISF 5K for Kids Cancer on Saturday, September 25th at the Ballantyne Corporate Park.  As we rev back up in our 14th year, we are delighted to have Hendrick Luxury Group helping us make it happen.

We are doing all that we can to put on the best event possible! BUT, just like you, we are still figuring things out in this new world.  We are going back to basics this year… businesses are still recovering, we are following every safety precaution possible and as COVID restrictions have lifted we still need to be vigilant for our cancer families.  Although we hope to have more than just a road race, it will not be a full-blown festival like the last several years.  So be patient with us, September 25th won’t look the same, but it will still pack the best possible impact on kids fighting cancer as possible.  

Although we will have a physical event, those who want to join in spirit can! We are hybrid ya’ll!  So whatever you decide to do… we just hope to have you and your tribe participate!

Registration is now open for the ISF 5K for Kids Cancer presented by Hendrick Luxury Group.  Registration options include:  5K, 10K, Kids 1-Mile Fun Run & Spirit Runner

We have had an incredible response from local Charlotte businesses who have stepped up so far to be part of our comeback event! Sponsorship levels are still available, we would love for your business to join us in making this the best year yet!  Contact Karen, ISF Sponsorship & Partnership Director, for more details!
