2023 is the year Nebraska Fights Back against colorectal cancers at the 14th Annual Boxer 500 – A Short Run to Fight Colorectal Cancers. We walk and run to raise awareness, celebrate Survivors, and remember those we’ve lost.

The Great Plains Colon Cancer Task Force is dedicated to increasing the number of lives saved from colon cancer through education, early detection, and prevention.
The Great Plains Colon Cancer Task Force was formed in 1999 to increase public awareness of colon cancer and the importance of early detection and prevention. Health organizations, businesses, colon cancer survivors and volunteers throughout the community engaged in a comprehensive effort to get the community talking about colon cancer and to provide free colon cancer screenings.

The 5K Run/Walk is a timed event. Timing services provided by Precision Race Results LLC, Omaha, NE. The 1 Mile Walk, Kids’ 1K and Kids’ Boxer Dash are untimed.
