Relay For Life Coming to Fremont & Custer Counties – October 3, 2026
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life event serving Fremont County and Custer County, Colorado will take place Saturday, October 3, 2026, starting at 1:00 PM. This inspiring community event brings people together to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones lost, and raise money to help end cancer.
Relay For Life has been one of the American Cancer Society’s largest grassroots fundraising events, supporting cancer research, patient programs, transportation to treatment, lodging for families, and many other services that help people facing cancer.
Why Relay For Life Matters
Cancer touches nearly every family in some way. Relay For Life provides an opportunity for our community to:

Remember loved ones who have lost their battle with cancer
Support families currently fighting cancer
Raise funds for research and patient services
Every dollar raised helps the American Cancer Society continue its mission to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.
