2020 SCHEELS Race for Hope Cancelled

Leadership from Sioux City SCHEELS and the June E. Nylen Cancer Center have made the decision to cancel the 23rd Annual Race for Hope. This includes the 5K and 10K races, as well as all youth events on Saturday, September 12, 2020 at Adams Homestead and Nature Preserve.

Due to COVID-19, social distancing mandates make it difficult to safely host large-scale events in the Siouxland community, and the safety of all athletes, community members, volunteers and survivors continues to be the top priority. At this time, organizers are not offering a virtual race option, but they are still finding opportunities to give back.

“While we cannot hold the 2020 Race for Hope this year, we look forward to continuing our support of the June E. Nylen Cancer Center,” said Sioux City SCHEELS Store Leader Scott Robbins. “SCHEELS is currently working with our partners at the Cancer Center to identify projects we can fund through a donation this year.”

All athletes who have registered and paid for the 2020 Race for Hope will be automatically refunded within ten business days. For any event, donation or refund related questions, please email raceforhope@scheels.com.

Any athlete or community member who would like to support the Cancer Center may donate on its website, nylencancercenter.com.
