The Race for Research was first organized and run in 1997 by the friends and family of Michele Plachy-

Rubin, a young mother and kindergarten teacher who was diagnosed with brain cancer in 1996.

Michele walked the first race with her 1-year-old son but tragically lost her battle with cancer in 1998.

Cancer League of Colorado has continued the race in her memory. Since 1997, the Race for Research

has raised more than $1.6 million for cancer research.
