This term refers to the outcome of a footrace typically covering 3.1 miles, organized to raise funds and awareness for cancer research. Often, such events are associated with a specific organization, like a hospital or research institute, which benefits from the proceeds. Participants register and often solicit donations, culminating in the race event itself. The published outcome data usually includes overall finishing times, placement within age groups, and fundraising totals.
Publicly available race results serve multiple purposes. They provide participants with a record of their performance and allow for comparison with other runners. More broadly, the results demonstrate the collective effort and impact of the event, highlighting the funds raised for cancer research and showcasing community involvement. This transparency can foster continued support and participation in future events. Historically, these types of athletic events have played a crucial role in raising awareness and funding for various health-related causes.
