Take part in the UMass Cancer Walk and help advance cancer research and care, and clinical trials of potentially lifesaving therapies at UMass Chan Medical School.

Join thousands of participants on Sunday, Sept. 27, at Polar Park for the 28th annual UMass Cancer Walk!

The superhero-themed event celebrates patients, family members, researchers, healthcare providers, sponsors, volunteers—and you. By raising money and walking with us, you have the “power” to make a real difference for those facing cancer. Participants are encouraged to dress as superheroes, and special superhero guests will make appearances throughout the day.

Funds raised support the researchers and physician-scientists at UMass Chan Medical School who are working to make new discoveries and bring innovative therapies to patients.

Be a superhero for cancer research! Register as an individual, start a team or make a donation today.

Registration is $20 for participants age 13 and older. Children 12 and younger may register free of charge. Online registration closes at noon on Thursday, Sept. 24. Day-of registration is $25 for participants age 13 and older.
