About 2026 Road Race
Join the Road Race and help send children with cancer to a magical week of Summer Camp.
Camp Sunshine’s Road Race
Camp Sunshine’s Road Race is one of our largest annual fundraisers and a beloved, volunteer‑led tradition. Held during Summer Camp on Sunday, June 14, and Sunday, June 21, the event brings camp counselors together at sunrise for a 5K run or 2K walk in support of children with cancer.
Through their fundraising efforts, participants help make it possible for campers to experience a magical week at Camp Sunshine. This year, our goal is to raise $400,000 and inspire 150 participants to register and fundraise.
A Legacy of Impact
Established in 2001 and originally named for the road that leads to camp, the Road Race began as the Keencheefoonee Road Race. A group of counselors—missing Atlanta’s iconic Peachtree Road Race while volunteering at camp—created a race of their own to rally friends and family around Camp Sunshine’s mission.
Over the past 25 years, volunteers have raised more than $5.9 million in support of our campers.
Why It Matters
At Camp Sunshine, children with cancer enjoy all the fun of a traditional summer camp in a warm, supportive environment—one that fosters confidence, hope, and a sense of normalcy.
Donations from the Road Race directly support the cost of providing two weeks of Summer Camp for junior and teen campers. Thanks to the generosity of our community, all campers attend free of charge.
Join us and help make Summer Camp possible!

Three Ways to Participate
Anyone can participate as a fundraiser for Camp Sunshine's Road Race, even if you aren't at Summer Camp.
Choose from one of these registration options:
Runner or Walker
For our Summer Camp counselors who plan to fundraise and run/walk in the Road Race during their week at camp. We'll see you bright and early on race day!
Finish Line Friend
For our Summer Camp counselors who want to fundraise but don't plan to run or walk in the Road Race. We'll need some help passing out shirts, cheering everyone on, and hyping up the finish line!
Virtual Runner
For our dedicated fundraisers who will not be at Summer Camp. We're looking at you alumni, parents, friends, and volunteers who won't be at camp this summer!
