Strut for Kidz

Walk, Run, or STRUT your way on an easy 1 Mile or 5K course with a FOAM PARTY celebration at the finish line!

The Race

No Child Should Fight Alone.

Over 200 individuals flooded Long Leaf Park in Wilmington, NC to support childhood cancer families in New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick counties at the 14th Annual Strut For Kids Race.

After the race, we all celebrated a successful run with FOAM PARTY! We look forward to the 15th Annual Strut for Kidz Race in March 2024.

All proceeds will benefit Children’s Cancer Partners of the Carolinas Cape Fear Region, Wilmington’s only nonprofit organization solely dedicated to supporting families on their childhood cancer journey. Your support will ensure the 100+ Cape Fear children and families will receive the support they need.
