Benefiting Stephenson Cancer Center at OU Medicine
Outpace Cancer is an annual 10K/5K and 1-mile walk, hosted by the Stephenson Cancer Center, to raise funds for cancer research and to provide support for cancer patients and their families. This year, we’ve transformed our one-day event into a month-long virtual fitness challenge. Throughout the month of September, we’re encouraging participants to walk, run or bike in memory of those who have lost their battle with cancer and in dedication to those who continue to fight.
Our goals are to honor Oklahomans we have lost and raise funds to support families and individuals fighting cancer today. Every dollar donated supports Stephenson Cancer Center patients and stays right here in Oklahoma. Together, we can make a substantial impact on the lives of those who are battling cancer.
Outpace Cancer is a virtual event this year, and you can participate throughout the month of September. To register as well as create a fundraising and team page, visit the registration page.
This year, we have set community goals for miles logged and funds raised:
75,724 miles
Stephenson Cancer Center opened its door in 2011 and officially made our commitment to reducing the burden of cancer in Oklahoma. However, during the past 9 years, 75,724 patients in Oklahoma have lost their battle with cancer.
The average personal goal is 45 miles, only 11 miles per week. That’s only about 1.5 miles per day for each participant!
$35,000
We also have a goal to raise $35,000 for cancer treatment and research. Every dollar donated supports Stephenson Cancer Center patients and stays right here in Oklahoma.
