About the event

St. Dudes Baseball team is stepping up to give back to support pediatric cancer research, treatment, and care for children and their families. Come run with the Dudes at the beautiful MC Choctaw Trails on November 14, 2026!  

For our boys, HOME usually means one thing—the place they’re racing toward on the baseball field. But for families facing childhood cancer, HOME can mean so much more. It means finishing treatment. Getting back to school. Getting back on the field. Getting back to being a kid. And that’s what we’re racing for.

The St. Dudes baseball team knows firsthand the incredible impact these donations can have on children and families facing childhood cancer. When one of our own players was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, St. Jude became an important part of his journey. Thanks to generous donors, his family—like every family treated at St. Jude—never received a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.

Join the Dudes as we “Race to Home!” All proceeds go to support pediatric cancer research, treatment, and care for children and their families. Runners who register before October 23, 2026 are guaranteed a shirt.
