About the event

Cougs vs Cancer Run! Sign up to join BYU's fight against cancer! *Register by 2/20/2027 for discounted race pricing!* The Cougs vs Cancer Run is a proud annual tradition at BYU. The event is an exciting 5k with a route that goes all throughout BYU campus. 100% of ALL PROCEEDS help fund BYU student cancer research fellowships through the BYU Simmons Center for Cancer Research. The race honors Rex E. Lee, former President of BYU and founding Dean of the J. Reuben Clark Law School, who passed away from cancer in 1995. Throughout the many years of this race, our mission remains the same: to raise funds for full-time student cancer research fellowships, providing BYU undergraduate and graduate students the chance to begin their careers as the next generation of cancer clinicians and researchers. Want to participate in the fun? Here’s how: Register for the race! Pick up your race t-shirt and bib at the BYU Wilkinson Center on March 5th from 12-5 PM or at the race from 7:30-8:30 AM on March 6th! Don't forget to post pictures or videos using #yirun and tag @cougsvscancer. Follow us on Instagram @cougsvscancer to get updated details about the race.
