Event Description

Join us on Sunday, October 26, 2025, for the 28th Annual LA Cancer Challenge 5K Walk/Run, the signature fundraising event of the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research. Held on the UCLA campus—where much of the Foundation’s research takes place—the LACC brings together supporters of all ages to raise critical funds and awareness for pancreatic cancer.

The LACC features a fun and festive morning of fitness and entertainment, including the Fit Family Expo, Candy Land Kids Zone, food and beverage booths and activity tents. 

In-person registration includes: chip timing by Gemini Timing, a commemorative t-shirt, custom pumpkin running bib and spooky finishers medal. Custom Halloween character medals will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age division, and overall winners will receive special prizes courtesy of Big 5 Sporting Goods.

Virtual registration is also available for those who wish to walk or run in their own neighborhood while supporting the cause.
