About the CORE + Giving 2026
This Thanksgiving morning event in Providence pairs an outdoor bootcamp session with a road run, all raising money for oncology research at Rhode Island Hospital. This year's run is dedicated to Suzanne Tanner, an instructor and runner who the community lost to cancer, and that context gives the morning a weight that most holiday races do not carry.
The full morning starts with a bootcamp workout before the run gets underway, so plan your warmup accordingly. The proceeds go entirely to a named research fund, which means the finish-line feeling is a bit different when you know exactly where the money is headed.
