About the Colby's Path to the Cure 2026
The race runs through King Phillip's Stockade, a park in Springfield, raising money for Synovial Sarcoma research. The course is a road run open to runners and walkers, starting and finishing near the pavilion closest to the park entrance. Parking is free throughout the grounds.
After the finish, the gathering moves back to that pavilion. A DJ keeps things going while face painting and lawn games fill out the space. You can pre-order a boxed lunch through the registration process, with sandwich options from a local market, or bring your own food.

2026 Results
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Colby's Path to the Cure 2026 has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 8, 2026.
