Sarcoma Stomp: Run for Research 2026

Sarcoma Stomp: Run for Research is a race day at Dam West Beach in Carlyle, Illinois, with a 5K run/walk, a 10K, a 1-mile fun run, and virtual 5K/10K options. The in-person events are built for runners and walkers, with the 5K and virtual events listed at $40 and the 1-mile fun run listed at $15. Start windows run from late morning into early afternoon, with the fun run beginning after the 5K window opens. The event is held in honor of Bo Arvin and connects the race to pediatric cancer awareness and research funding. The Bo Arvin Memorial Foundation directs half of fundraising efforts to the Children's Cancer Therapy Developmental Institute, and the event also supports two scholarships at Christ Our Rock Lutheran High School. The tribute focuses on qualities tied to Bo's memory: kindness, loyalty, humor, respect, faith, and courage.
