Make waves in the fight against cancer! Join us for the Tulane Cancer Center Wave Makers 5K & The Swell Kids 1/2 Mile Run on Sunday, October 18, 2026. Every step is more than just distance covered — it’s a stride toward awareness, compassion, and a cure. By signing up, you’re not just participating in a race — you are a Wave Maker, helping to turn individual effort into a fight against cancer.

Participants from all backgrounds will gather to honor survivors, remember loved ones, and stand united with those still in the fight. From the electric energy at the starting line to the celebratory finish, this event is where determination and compassion unite to create a lasting impact.

Whether you run, walk, or volunteer, your presence helps amplify the message and fuels the mission. All proceeds from the Wave Makers 5K directly support the transformative research of Tulane Cancer Center—sending waves of hope and change far beyond race day.

Make a difference. Make waves. Be a Wave Maker.
