Registration for the 15th Annual Heather Ridley-Fleeman Battle for Hope is officially open!

2017 Battle for Hope Register Now Button

Battle for Hope – Bentonville’s longest-running race – began in 2005 as a way to honor the life of Heather Ridley-Fleeman and raise awareness of colon cancer. Heather passed away in 2004 at the young age of 28 after a long battle with colon cancer. The following year, Heather's family and friends partnered with Hope Cancer Resources to help ensure cancer patients have access to the care they need during treatment and to educate individuals about the importance of early detection.

2019 Battle for Hope Most Creative Team_opt.jpgBattle for Hope includes a 10k and 5k run, 5k walk, awards ceremony and prize drawings. Your participation helps us continue our mission of providing cancer support and education in the Northwest Arkansas area today and tomorrow. All proceeds from the event go directly to our patient support and community education programs.

There are several ways you can participate in this year’s Battle for Hope that will take place Saturday, May 4 at Old Tiger Field in Bentonville. You can run the 10k or 5k or walk the 5k. Start or join a team for even more fun! If you prefer being a behind-the-scenes participant, we’d love to have you as a volunteer. Lastly, if you’re interested in giving even more to the cancer patients we serve while promoting your brand, consider becoming a sponsor.

Register now to take advantage of our early bird prices. Early registration closes April 5 at midnight.
