OUR MISSION
|
Our mission is to empower and strengthen kids and their families as they battle Pediatric Cancer.
With the help of custom-designed Nike by You shoes, plus Project Outrun signature swag, kids design their shoes, their colors, their message. We want to strengthen them, give them a goal, and a finish line. As we say at Project Outrun, "When you 'outrun' cancer, it helps to have the right shoes." |
PAIRS AND COUNTING!

Our Shoe Story: Catch the Trailer!
|
|
It's a world premiere! We’re rolling out the gold carpet for you! Because of the story you’ve helped us create, we’re unveiling the premiere of our eight-minute short documentary by nationally acclaimed filmmaker Benjamin Meyer, followed by a private showing of Disney’s Frozen 2 on November 24th.
“Our Shoe Story” is a culmination of Project Outrun’s story, featuring the children we’ve been honored to serve, our volunteers, donors, community—and sweet shoes. Here's the trailer: |

Design nights
|
|
Once a month, since April 2017, we've been taking our Sneaker Squad to Akron Children's Hospital to work towards our goal. Our design nights consist of dinner, shoe design, and swag bags. Swag bags are filled with a Project Outrun t-shirt, as well as a personal finish line. Our finish lines are meant to encourage our kids to set and achieve goals. We tell the kids, "Set a goal; something big, something small. But when you achieve that goal, put on your Outrun Shoes, have mom or dad hold that finish line and bust through! Because nothing feels as good as running through a finish line."
