This event is a time to gather and remember our loved ones. Hosted at the Kemmons Wilson Family Center for Good Grief and Dorothy’s Cottage, participants will get to see where healing grief work happens for our community. The route will be around this pastoral setting and along the Green Belt.

THE CANCER KICKERS BIG BUFFALO 50 April 3rd, 2027 Shelby Farms Park The Cancer Kickers Big Buffalo 50 is more than a race. It’s a lifeline. As the largest annual fundraiser for the Cancer Kickers Soccer Club, every stride taken on race day directly fuels hope, joy, and connection for children around the world who are fighting cancer. Founded in Memphis in 2016 by Michelle and Chris Clothier, CKSC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to wrapping kids in comfort and community during the hardest battle of their lives. Through custom soccer kits, complete with jerseys, balls, gear, and personalized touches, we remind each child that they’re not facing cancer alone. So far, more than 3,200 kids have received their own kit of courage. This year, we’re calling on the Memphis running community to help us reach even more children. During registration, you’ll have the option to make a donation to CKSC and every single dollar goes straight to the mission. It costs $300 to deliver one complete kit to a
child. That means: * Every relay team registered supports one child. * Every four 50K runners support one child. * Every three 50-mile runners support one child. Your gift, no matter the size, has the power to brighten a child’s day, lift a family’s spirits, and remind them they’re part of a team that cares. Together, we can create real, meaningful impact for these brave kids. Let’s run with purpose. Let’s run for them. Watch our special video to see how Cancer Kickers transforms lives and hear firsthand from an incredible family whose world was changed by our team.
