2023 Outrun the Sun Race Against Melanoma

SEPTEMBER 30 -- INDIANAPOLIS

To the survivors who inspire us, the Race Against Melanoma is a time to celebrate life.

To families gathering in support of loved ones, the race is a time to create memories.

To generous sponsors, the race is a time to engage with the skin cancer community.

Join us September 30 for a delightful evening that signals hope to those living with skin cancer. 

For nearly 20 years Outrun the Sun has been Indiana’s only nonprofit organization solely focused on supporting skin cancer education and melanoma research. We work with individuals and organizations here at home, while also partnering with national leaders in melanoma research. We do this because people living with melanoma deserve the strongest, most robust teams working on their behalf. THANK YOU for being part of the Outrun the Sun team!
