This event is sponsored by the American Cancer Society with Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge as the local sponsor. This event is held in May of each year. The relay is an all night, non-athletic, family oriented team event that celebrates cancer survivorship, health, teamwork and the community.
Teams raise money by asking for donations prior to the event.
On-site team competitions can include campsite creativity, best pajamas, worst karaoke singers and most money raised. During the event, each team has a representative on the track at all times, eith walking or running in relay-style shifts. After sunset, Relay for Life participants pause in their revelry for a Luminaria Ceremony designed to honor and remember those touched by cancer. The general public is invited and encouraged to attend this moving and poignant service of light.
