Walkin' In Boots 5K

Stride into action and make every step count at James Madison University's vibrant Festival Lawn! Don your favorite cowboy or cowgirl boots—or any footwear that fuels your spirit—and join us for an unforgettable walk spanning 9 laps. It's not just a walk; it's a journey in the boots of the brave souls battling cancer, an embodiment of their unyielding courage.

Tragic as it is, about 1 in 260 children in the US will confront cancer before their 20th birthday, with new diagnoses affecting over 40 kids each day. We're the spirited folks of Dukes Against Childhood Cancer, and while we're not a non-profit, our heart beats for advocacy, awareness, and support in the relentless fight against pediatric cancer. Let's rally together, make a difference, and step towards hope with each lap we conquer!
