For Runners

The Grace Cancer Foundation is organizing its 5th edition of the Global Virtual Cancer Run with the theme of ‘Run the extra mile to gift a smile”. We warmly welcome you to take part in the event and are providing a platform for you to contribute to society in bringing awareness and helping in screening the underprivileged for Cancers, early.

To run in this Cancer awareness program across the globe.
To help people lead active lifestyles by making running a preferred form of fitness.
No cancer patients should be deprived of treatment due to lack of health care support.

To promote physical activity as a means to prevent and combat cancer in the society.
To make a meaningful and significant impact on people lives by raising awareness about Cancer.

The Global Grace Cancer Run 2023 is organized in a hybrid format, which means runners can participate either virtually from wherever they are in the world or join us in a select in-person run location near to them.

Step 1: Runners willing to participate have to register themselves at https://gracecancerrun.com/gcr2023/

The registered runners will receive an e-bib (i.e. a personalized, printable picture) in their respective mails. We prefer that you print it out and pin it to your T-shirt/Running Vest, as we want to make it feel like an event and not a solo run.

Step 2: On the day of the event, i.e. 8th October, 2023, the runners are requested to start between 5 to 7 A.M. and finish at the latest by 9 A.M., in the respective time zones globally.
If, for some reason, beyond individual control the runners aren’t able to start the run between the aforementioned times, they can complete it before the end of the day. And those of you who are not able to run on that day, can do so on any day up to 16th October 2023 and submit their details by or before 23 hrs : 59 mins IST of 16th October 2023.

The runners are also requested to carry a water bottle or an energy drink and also a few snacks so as to stay hydrated and energized all through the run. The runners are also requested to maintain personal safety during the entirety of the run

Runners are requested to run outside, along the safe route of their choice and which has the least amount of traffic. If interrupted by weather complications or other uncontrollable situations, the runners can run indoors. If the participants are unable to complete the entire race, they are requested to run the distance comfortable to them.
