C4 5K Run to Defeat Colorectal Cancer
The California Colorectal Cancer Coalition (C4) is a nonprofit organization made up of a diverse group of dedicated individuals from throughout California whose mission is to save lives and reduce suffering from colorectal cancer in all Californians.
Funds raised through the “Screen Your Gut - Save Your Butt” run will be used for the C4 Community Grants Program that aims to increase screening to prevent colorectal cancer development and detect existing cancers earlier when the outcomes are more favorable for patients.
2026 Logo is Here!
We hope you like the new design! The main logo will be on the front of the T shirts and the Butt with SYGSYB will be on one of the T-shirt sleeves. The race logo for 2026 is included here. Of note, we are adding a second race in Northern California that will be held on the UC Davis campus, so we will soon have San Diego and NorCal races.
