Event Description

What is the Climb to End Cancer?

When you participate in Climb to End Cancer—whether in Phoenix or Flagstaff—you become a vital part of a premier American Cancer Society event that honors, celebrates, and supports Every cancer. Every life.® Whether you're powering up the mountain for a cardio challenge, enjoying a brisk walk, or taking a leisurely stroll, this climb symbolizes the next mountain we all face—be it adopting a healthier lifestyle, improving mental wellness, or navigating a personal cancer journey as a patient, survivor, thriver, or caregiver.

People of all ages and abilities participate—hiking, running, walking, using wheelchairs, and even pushing strollers up South Mountain. As the American Cancer Society’s first and largest single-day Climb event in the world, the Climb to End Cancer of Phoenix powerfully illustrates how small steps—taken together—can lead to big change. This event taps into the lifestyle shifts we can all make to help end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
