Run For Your Buns

Run for your buns was started nine years ago to create awareness surrounding colon cancer prevention. Colon Cancer is the second most leading cause of cancer death in the United States for men and women and it is a preventable disease. One in twenty adults have a lifetime risk of colon cancer. Early screenings with colonoscopy have a 95-98% success rate of detecting and removing cancer. American Cancer Society guidelines for screening for colorectal cancer have just been updated from 50 years old to 45 to save more lives as studies show rates of colorectal cancer among people younger than 50 are on the rise.

Annual Run For Your Buns 5K

Run for Your Buns is an annual 5K run/walk benefiting colon cancer prevention. Net proceeds will be donated to Altru Health Foundation to help uninsured and underinsured individuals pay for screening colonoscopies. Everyone is invited to join in on the 10th Annual and final Run For Your Buns 5K on Saturday, June 10, 2023 at 8 a.m.! This family friendly race promotes health and fitness, while raising awareness for colon cancer screening.
