Sarah Strong Run 5K and Kids Fun Run

Sarah Strong Run 5K and Kids Fun Run Annual 5K Run/Walk and 1 Mile Kids Fun Run in downtown Elkhart to benefit Passionately Purple: The Sarah Crane Foundation.

All proceeds for the Sarah Strong 10k Run, 5k Run/Walk, and Kids Fun Run will go towards the “Passionately Purple, the Sarah Crane Foundation.”Sarah was a sophomore at Elkhart Memorial High School when she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon Cancer on July 3, 2013. She was one of the youngest at age 15, to be diagnosed with such an advanced form of colon cancer. On December 7, 2013, Sarah lost her ba

ttle. Sarah is a fighter and as she continued to battle the disease, she encouraged us all to be no matter what we face in our daily lives. With the month of March being Colon Cancer Awareness Month, we have decided to keep the race in March.

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s event. While this was not an easy decision, we believe it is the right one for our family, our foundation and the SARAHSTRONG Run.

This event means so much to us and we’re looking forward to using the next year to regroup, build partnerships and create an even bigger and better SARAHSTRONG Run.

The next SARAHSTRONG Run will be held on Saturday, September 25, 2027.

If you are registered, you have two options:

1. Defer your registration to the 2027 SARAHSTRONG Run: Your registration can be transferred to next year’s event, so you’ll be all set to join us in 2027.
2. Request a refund: If you’re unable to join us next year, you may request a refund of your registration.

We know this may be disappointing. We are incredibly grateful for your understanding and support.

Since 2014, the SARAHSTRONG Run has been one of the most meaningful ways for us to honor Sarah, connect with our community and raise funds for Passionately Purple: The Sarah Crane Foundation.

To those of you who have registered year after year, supported the foundation, shared our posts, brought friends and family, sponsored the race or simply continued to believe in what we are doing: thank you. We truly could not do this without you!

We hope you'll stay connected with us over this next year on this page as we share further updates. Please reach out if you have any questions. We hope to see you next fall!

March will always hold a special place in our hearts. As Colon Cancer Awareness Month, it's a time to continue conversations that matter while honoring loved ones, like Sarah, who have been impacted by this disease. And it's also, as many of you race OGs know, the month we ran many of our SARAHSTRONG Runs in the past.

When Sarah was diagnosed, our world changed forever. But the overwhelming support that quickly followed was something we never could have imagined. That support didn’t fade, and we are honored that it continues today with Passionately Purple: The Sarah Crane Foundation and our annual run.

We’re SO excited to share that the 2026 SARAHSTRONG Run will take place on Saturday, September 26.

And…registration opens TOMORROW! With our signature special pricing. Look for more details tomorrow!

We can’t wait to come together again 💜
