About this event

Get Your Rear in Gear is the Colon Cancer Coalition's flagship run/walk, raising money and awareness for colon cancer prevention, screening, and patient support. The Twin Cities event offers multiple distances - a 1-mile walk, a 5K, and a 10K - so every fitness level can take part. Proceeds stay largely local to fund screening access and community education. Participants sign up online, can form teams, and are encouraged to fundraise. The event is family-friendly and honors those affected by colorectal cancer. Confirm the exact start time, venue, and packet pickup on the event page as the date approaches. A meaningful morning that pairs an accessible course with a life-saving prevention message.
