The George Washington Bridge Challenge
The American Cancer Society is the only organization in the world to be able to shut down the world’s busiest bridge to host this one-of-a-kind bucket list race. With 5k and 10k walk or run options, the sights of this run are breathtaking, and you'll be making your miles more meaningful with funds being donated to the American Cancer Society! We meet each year on National Cancer Survivors Day to fight back against cancer and celebrate our survivors and fighters as symbols of hope and resilience.
