The Global Grace Cancer Run is an annual international event organized by the Grace Cancer Foundation to raise awareness about cancer and encourage healthy, active lifestyles. First launched in 2018, the run now spans over 130 countries and unites thousands of participants in a shared mission to fight cancer through awareness, fitness, and fundraising for cancer screening services.

The 8th edition of the Global Grace Cancer Run will take place on Sunday, 12th October 2025. The event will be held simultaneously in Hyderabad, India — the flagship venue — and in cities around the world through local organizing partners.

There are three inclusive race categories:

2K Fun Run: Ideal for families, children, and seniors.

5K Run: Great for casual runners and fitness enthusiasts.

10K Timed Run: Designed for experienced runners who want a timed competitive experience.

Participants can register through the official Grace Cancer Run website or at local physical registration counters set up in select cities. Online registration allows you to choose your category, T-shirt size, and provides confirmation details.

Some local chapters may have a nominal registration fee to cover logistics. However, many cities offer free participation as part of the community awareness initiative. Check your city-specific details during registration.
