The Indy Races were created to raise money for childhood cancer research and to support families affected by this disease. Despite the significant funding for cancer research annually, only a small percentage is allocated to childhood cancer. The event offers participants the flexibility to take part in various running distances or to partake virtually through activities such as swimming or biking, ensuring inclusivity for all preferences. Every contribution, whether through participation or donation, directly supports a local organization dedicated to this cause, emphasizing the meaningful impact of each dollar raised.
