About

The Event

The Sam Day Buddy Run is a small group, high impact charity run for select endurance runners. Runners are paired with “Buddies” who are either currently fighting cancer or who've been lost to cancer. Each runner trains for the challenging 12-mile course and raises a minimum of $2,000. The fundraising effort is successful because of these runners’ enthusiasm for this cause and their compassion for what kids are going through.

Donate to a runner and their buddy, or volunteer to help along the course.  Bring your good energy to encourage and cheer runners along the way. Noisemakers, music, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, friends and crazy costumes are all welcome! 

Buddy Fundraising pages will launch on April 18th.

The run will begin at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital at 8:30am on Saturday, May 17th, and finish at Terra Linda park in Cedar Mill, Oregon.
