About the Event

Join us in Aksarben Village for a morning of hope, courage, and community as we run and walk together to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Powered by Team Ethan and supported by our friends at Fleet Feet, this event is a chance to make a real difference in the lives of kids and families fighting pediatric cancer.

This run is inspired by Ethan Benson’s journey. In January 2023, Ethan was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer. With no clear roadmap, our family faced the unknown until St. Jude stepped in. They gave us world-class treatment, groundbreaking research, and, most importantly, hope. Today, Ethan celebrates being two and a half years cancer free—and we celebrate by giving back.

Bring your family, your friends, and your running shoes. Whether you run or walk, your steps will help ensure that kids battling cancer have the care, research, and support they need and that no family ever has to walk this road alone.

Together, we can fuel the mission of St. Jude and bring hope to children everywhere.

Every step is for the kids. Every mile matters.
