Run for the Stripes will host a completely virtual event on November 7, 2020

While the event will look different this year, rest assured that we remain committed to continuing to support the community, raise awareness, and research funds for Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET).

 
What is a virtual event?   You pick the location, distance, and time - it's that easy!  Once you register, we will mail your t-shirt a week before the event.  You can choose to run or walk, in an area where you are comfortable and safe.   You can also choose to walk mid-afternoon when it will be the warmest part of the day – that’s a benefit to the virtual event!
 
Please note:  You must register by October 23 to be guaranteed to receive your t-shirt by November 7th.



In December 2019 we made our annual donation of $67,500, to the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center with more possible as additional donations have continued to come in since the event. This brings our total impact on NeuroEndocrine research over 8 years to $352,500, which could lead to new treatments and ultimately a cure for NeuroEndocrine Cancer.
Thank you for your incredible generosity and for everyone's support and participation in our 2019 event at the Philadelphia Zoo on Nov. 9th!
We had 1406 registered participants and over 1000 joined us,  as well as 169 runners/walkers representing 24 states who ran virtually across the country.

 Race for NET (neuroendocrine tumor) focus is to raise awareness for neuroendocrine cancers, a rare and hard to diagnose cancer, and to raise money to donate to research for this rare cancer.  This year will be the eighth year for the Run For The Stripes 5K run and 1 Mile walk. We had so much fun last year and since it was such a success we had to come back and do it again.   It is a great way to be involved with the NET community and the proceeds from the run go to research designated specifically for NET research.

neuroendocrine tumor    (NOOR-oh-EN-doh-krin TOO-mer)
A tumor that forms from cells that release hormones in response to a signal from the nervous system. Some examples of neuroendocrine tumors are carcinoid tumors, islet cell tumors, medullary thyroid carcinomas, pheochromocytomas, and neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin (Merkel cell cancer). These tumors may secrete higher-than-normal amounts of hormones, which can cause many different symptoms.
