Armed with comfortable shoes and an array of supplies needed for their overnighter, young and old alike will walk around the clock because cancer never sleeps. Though not all individuals are able to stay the entire evening, many individuals will be in motion all night and most teams will have at least one team member walking or running the track at all times. Relay For Life starts with the Opening Ceremony and then local cancer survivors are invited to unite to walk a Survivor lap that is scheduled to start the event. Cheered on as they travel around the track, many will be joined for the next lap by family and friends - the caregivers who helped see them through their cancer journey.
