Our Route

Due to construction in Royal Oak, this year's route might be altered from previous years.


We will receive construction updates throughout the summer and post our route once it's confirmed. Not to worry - we will still be in and around the neighborhoods near Royal Oak High School!


Packet Pickup (optional - everything you need will be onsite the day of the event)
Whether you are going to be joining us at our in-person event or Around Town, we welcome you to join us on Thursday, September 4th from 12 p.m. - 6 p.m. for our packet pickup day. 

Thursday, September 5th from 12 p.m. - 6 p.m.

Fundraising Goal:
Each year we encourage participants to fundraise $100 for Gilda’s Club. This helps allow us to provide free support for all people facing the stress and impact of a cancer diagnosis. 


Please consider sharing your participant page with family, friends and your community. You would be surprised how much a simple email or social media post encourages folks to donate to a cause you are passionate about.
