Is Gilda's Run/Walk virtual this year?

No...and yes! In 2022 we will host an in-person race on October 16. We will also offer a virtual option for anyone who prefers to run or walk on their own.

What is a virtual race?

Although Gilda's Run/Walk will be offered in-person this year, you may choose to participate virtually. A virtual race is a race that you can do anywhere and anytime! How does it work? You can run your 5k or walk your two miles anywhere, anytime between October 16 and October 23. Please note: virtual runners are not eligible for prizes awarded to the top race finishers, however, you ARE eligible for top fundraiser prizes.

What date should I finish fundraising?

To qualify for fundraising thank-you gifts, we ask that you complete your fundraising by October 7th at 11:00 am CST. Fundraising websites will continue to be live through the end of October.
