Lauren's Run & Picnic 2026

CELEBRATING 32 YEARS OF LAUREN'S RUN & PICNIC For the last 31 years, hundreds of families have gathered to walk and run in support of CURE Childhood Cancer, raising more than $6.2 million for lifesaving pediatric cancer research. Lauren’s Run & Picnic, presented by AutoNation, truly brings the community together, with families, schools, and companies forming race teams to support our fight. After the race, participants, as well as families diagnosed with childhood cancer, join together for the CURE Annual Picnic. The CURE Picnic is a day unlike any other! Dozens of games, prizes, elaborate face painting, enormous inflatables, music and dancing, arts and crafts, a full lunch, and so much more. The CURE Picnic is a reunion for our families and a day of fun for all.
