Our NEW location this year allows us to continue to make wishes happen with our 7k run or 1.5 mile walk! Join us at MercyHealth Sportscore Two (Indoor Sports Center) for this year's race followed by a fun indoor afterparty!
Bring JOY to young adults, and their families, fighting cancer. Most pediatric support programs age out at 18 and adult programs start at 25 leaving a gap for young adults. Our mission is to bridge that gap and deliver joy to young adults aged 18-24 battling cancer!
Nik's Home Run is our biggest fundraiser of the year and makes granting more wishes possible. It all takes place on Saturday, October 10th at MercyHealth Sportscore Two. The gates open at 8:00 AM for check-in and registration. The Run & Walk start at 9:00 AM.
Your registration includes:
