The St. Jude Runs is more than just an annual charity event; it’s a powerful movement dedicated to raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Since its inception in 1982, this inspiring initiative has raised over $94 million, bringing us closer to a world where no child should die in the dawn of life. On August 1, 2026, St. Jude Runners will embark on a journey that transcends personal achievement. They’ll be running not just for a time, a record, or a medal, but for hope—hope for children and families navigating their darkest hours. Every step participants take will contribute to lifesaving cures, the sharing of groundbreaking research, and the assurance that families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
