*Register by 2/15/25 for discounted race pricing!*

The Cougs vs Cancer Run is a proud annual tradition at BYU, now in its 30th year! The event is an exciting 5k with a route that goes all throughout BYU campus. 100% of ALL PROCEEDS go to fund BYU student cancer research fellowships through the BYU Simmons Center for Cancer Research. The race honors Rex E. Lee, former President of BYU and founding Dean of the J. Reuben Clark Law School, who passed away from cancer in 1996.

Throughout the many years of this race, our mission remains the same: to raise funds for full-time student cancer research fellowships, providing BYU undergraduate and graduate students the chance to begin their careers as the next generation of cancer clinicians and researchers.

Want to participate in the fun? Here’s how:

• Register for the race

• Pick up your race t-shirt and bib at the Wilkinson Center on February 28th from 12pm to 5pm or at the race on March 1st!
