2026 Crush Cancer Glow Walk/Run

The Crush Cancer Glow Walk/Run is a dusk walk and run at McKinley Park in Creston, Iowa, focused on glow gear instead of race clocks. It provides a one-mile route and a 5K route, with the 5K serving as the longer option. The event is not officially timed, allowing walkers, runners, families, first-timers, and people of different abilities to participate without the pressure of a standard road race. The route details include a 1.6K course map. The available options keep the event manageable for casual participation while still offering runners a 5K choice. Registration costs $35, opens before the event, and closes prior to race day. The Glow Walk/Run concludes a larger day of Crush Cancer in Every Color activities, followed by a lighted Luminaria Ceremony. Proceeds benefit the Greater Regional Health Infusion and Oncology Center and cancer-related fundraising.
