This year’s community celebration will be held online to help ensure that you and your loved ones are safe from the spread of COVID-19. This livestreamed virtual event will feature some of the best aspects of the in-person event, including family-friendly programming and activities, a celebration of our amazing fundraisers, and a #ZEROstrong ceremony that will honor local patients, caregivers, and survivors.

We’ll be live streaming here on Fall 2021 and on Facebook.

Our focus is on celebrating the prostate cancer community, but we still encourage you to get active and do something that you love (run, hike, golf, yoga, swim, cook, color with your kids, take your dog for a walk, etc..). After all, staying active is one way to prevent prostate cancer! Be sure to commemorate your activity by sharing a photo on social media with the hashtag #ZEROstrong.

If you do choose to run or walk a 5K, website you can self-report your time and see how you stack up against other participants! You’ll even be able to download a finisher certificate! Stay tuned to emails that will provide this link.

If you have registered in the last 48 hours there may be a delay in your name appearing. Please check back after this time has passed. If your name still does not appear please reach out to races@zerocancer.org.

Fundraise by taking action for the cause and spreading the word! Go live on social media and invite your friends to watch and join you in the fun. You could host a simple stretching session, a trivia game or virtual movie night, lead a workout class, or dye your hair, do take the #PiesforProstates challenge!

You can also set up shop to get active! Start your own fundraiser -- whether it’s a lemonade stand, selling your own artwork or clothing, let your friends know that proceeds will benefit prostate cancer patients in need during the COVID-19 crisis.

However you get active and take action, you’ll be spreading crucial awareness for the cause and making direct support possible for the patients who have been hit hardest by COVID-19. Share how you’re getting active by posting a photo on social media using the hashtag #ZEROstrong.

One in nine American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and the funds raised are invested around the country to provide research for new treatments, free prostate cancer testing, and educate men and families about prostate cancer. Your fundraising provides assistance to cancer patients who are at a high-risk of contracting COVID-19 due to already weakened immune systems. Learn more about what ZERO is doing to help the prostate cancer community during this time at zerocancer.org/coronavirus.

100% of donations go to ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer, a registered 501(c)(3) organization (tax id 59-3400922).

The money raised by the event helps drive free prostate cancer testing throughout the country as well as in the communities of each Run/Walk location. Grants are also awarded in race communities wherever they’ll have the most local impact on new programs, patient support, early detection, and awareness efforts.

On a national level, your gift is invested to educate men about their risks, as well as to fund direct support for patients and their families. Finally, your dollars enable national efforts to protect and expand research funding and availability of care for prostate cancer testing and treatments.Additionally, funds raised during COVID-19 will help patients in dire need due to the economic and health consequences of the virus.

ZERO is the only national prostate cancer charity to receive the highest-possible 4-star rating for financial responsibility from Charity Navigator, and meets all 20 standards of accountability as an accredited charity member of the Better Business Bureau.
