Race to Cure Sarcoma San Diego 2026

Race to Cure Sarcoma San Diego is an annual 5K run and 1-mile walk held at Ruocco Park in downtown San Diego. The Sarcoma Foundation of America organizes this event as part of its national Race to Cure Sarcoma program. Options include timed 5K entries for adults and children ages 6-12, untimed 5K run-or-walk and 1-mile walk options, and virtual entries for those unable to attend in person. The event focuses on individuals affected by sarcoma, a rare cancer originating in bone or connective tissues like muscle, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and tissue around joints. Hundreds of community members gather to raise awareness and funds for research, aiming to reach a $50,000 fundraising goal. Participation supports over 200,000 patients and families managing sarcoma.
