Description
Make waves in the fight against cancer! Join us for the Tulane Cancer Center Wave Makers 5K and "The Swell" Kids Half-Mile Run at Lafreniere Park in Metairie on Sunday, October 18, 2026, beginning at 8 AM. Every step is a stride toward hope, awareness, and a future free from cancer. When you register, you're not just participating in a race, you're becoming a Wave Maker, helping turn individual action into meaningful impact. Participants of all ages and backgrounds will come together to honor survivors, remember loved ones, and support those currently facing cancer. Join one of our awareness ribbon teams and stand alongside survivors, advocates, caregivers, and supporters united by a common cause. The team with the most participants on race day will be crowned our Largest Team Champions and receive special recognition. Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, your involvement helps advance the mission. Proceeds from the Wave Makers 5K support transformative research at Tulane Cancer Center. Make a difference. Make waves. Be a Wave Maker. Register TODAY!
