The Race Against Cancer started in 2014 when an employee at CareOne was undergoing treatment for an aggressive form of cancer. The first year had 150 runners and raised $15,000. Since then, CareOne raised over $200,000 and upwards of 200 runners partaking each year. The course intertwines through the beautiful Overpeck Park and is USATF-certified.
