Virtual Runners

Where: Anywhere
When: Any time through Sun, Dec, 14th

The Virtual Lung Run is a chance to join us from wherever you are with the flexibility of distance and time of start! Your support reflects the importance of The Lung Run’s mission whether you choose to do a jog at the park, run for a personal best, or a walk from home. All participants of the Virtual Lung Run will receive a commemorative shirt and sticker.

In the days leading up to the race

Two runners, Lewis Lovell and Nemanja Savic, will be pushing their limits for something far greater than themselves, running 4 marathons in 4 days, all in the name of supporting the cystic fibrosis (CF) community.

Runners and run clubs across the country will lace up, log miles, and raise donations, each step carrying the ultimate goal: to fuel awareness, connect communities, and stand beside those whose fight with CF is every day.

How do I participate?

Not a runner? That’s okay! We’d still love to have you, your friends, and family join us to celebrate and raise awareness.
