Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature
activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity
to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people
camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and
take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each
team is asked to have a representative on the track at all
times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to
24 hours in length.
Relay For Life is a life-changing event that brings together
more than 3.5 million people to:
• Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. The
strength of survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
• Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, people
who have walked alongside people battling cancer can grieve
and find healing.
• Fight Back. We Relay because we have
been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an
end to the disease.
