Candace’s Cause 5K

🏞️ Candace's Cause 5K

Beautiful Cherokee Park in Louisville will once again host the "Candace's Cause 5K". Enjoy the park's many landmarks and points of interest, all the while walking and/or running to support a worthwhile organization dedicated to finding a cure for DIPG - a rare form of pediatric brain tumor that has affected so many of our kids in this region.

This year's race is being ran on DIPG Awareness Day throughout the Commonwealth.
