Relay For Life of U'Iowa Ribbon Run 5K

The American Cancer Society has a goal to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Relay For Life has been hosted by the American Cancer Society at University of Iowa (ACS at U'Iowa) student organization for more than a decade. Relay For Life has evolved in Iowa City adding friendly competition with the "Ribbon Run 5K" in 2023. At this year’s Relay for Life Ribbon Run 5K, we come together not only to celebrate strength and survivorship, but to honor every person affected by cancer. Each step we take and dollar we raise, helps fund lifesaving research, patient support, and hope for families in our community, to ensure everyone the opportunity to fight for life. By dressing up in your ribbon color; gold for childhood cancer, pink for breast cancer, lavender for all cancer types... you shine a light on the stories behind each cancer journey, reminding us that this fight is personal, powerful, and shared. Today, we run, walk, and stand together to make a difference and move clos
