DAVENPORT, IOWA (June 21, 2023) —We are excited to announce our annual Run for Hope Benefiting Gilda’s Club, June 24, at the Rock in Coal Valley. This is a family-friendly event to show your support for those in the community who have been impacted by cancer.

The five-kilometer run will begin at 8AM, and a one-mile fun-run will be held at 9AM; thereafter, breakfast will be served.

New this year, we have yard signs along the route to honor loved ones who have been impacted by cancer. Our goal is to have the race route filled with constant reminders of why individuals are running. We also have custom bibs where individuals can write in who they are running for and add photos. We also have our Purina doggy dash where you can bring your pup along to run and get a bandana.

The funds raised here, stay here, to benefit the families and individuals in our community being impacted by cancer.

Register by June 1 to be guaranteed a shirt or custom yard sign.

Register to run or volunteer on gildasclubqcorg/run or call 563-326-7504.
