Miles for Moffitt

 

On November 21, let’s move for love, courage, and finding cures to cancer. Whether you join us in downtown Tampa or virtually, we will come together as a community and build on the momentum for life-saving cancer research that is at the core of Moffitt’s mission.

Since 2006, Moffitt Cancer Center supporters have come together to:

• Raise over $14 million for cancer research
• Fund over 80 pilot research projects at Moffitt Cancer Center
• Join us virtually from 48 states

Miles for Moffitt welcomes everyone and brings the whole community together, including families, patients, survivors, walkers, wheelchair racers, competitive runners, advocates and Tampa Bay’s corporate leaders and their employees. There is a race distance option for everyone, including a 10K, 10K Wheelchair, 5K Run, 5K Walk, 1K Fun Run/Walk, Kids Dash, 10K + 5K Challenge, and Virtual options.

Since its first mile, Miles for Moffitt has brought together survivors, fighters, families, and friends united by a shared purpose: to end cancer. Now in its 20th year, our community continues to grow—powered by passion, love, and the unwavering belief that research saves lives.

Held in the heart of downtown Tampa at Benchmark International Arena's (formerly known as Amalie Arena) Ford Thunder Alley, the event features a 10K, 5K, 1K, and Kids Dash, welcoming participants of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you’re celebrating a survivor or honoring someone’s memory, your miles matter.
