Q: How can I participate in Spirit of Survival this year?
A: Spirit of Survival will have both virtual and live events this year. The Spirit Walk and Kid’s Bubble Run are live events at the Museum of the Great Plains on September 19th. All other walk/run an and bike events may be completed virtually from August 1-September 19.
Q: Why is Spirit of Survival virtual and not live?
A: Besides the time involved in planning, all the expenses are paid for by the cancer center up front and then the money is recouped by the end through registrations and sponsors with any excess going to the actual cause. IF there is another surge in COVID cases or should mandates be reinstated infringing on an in-person event and we had to cancel/refund all the registration and sponsor fees, it would be financially crippling for CCSO. We also wanted to provide options so our survivors and high-risk individuals are safe and able to participate in a low-risk environment.

A: Individuals may form their own training groups. Visit our training groups Facebook group to connect and find others to train with here.
