About The Lung Run

The Lung Run is more than a race — it’s a movement to a brighter future and way for you to get out and get active with family and friends. This endurance event brings together runners, walkers, and supporters to raise awareness for adults living with cystic fibrosis. Every mile reflects the grit it takes to breathe through life with CF — and every step pushes forward the fight for better care, family-building support, and a life without limits. Participants get rewarded with swag for the more laps they complete and can show up at time between 9AM and 12PM on December 14th.

The race course is setup around Wake Med Soccer Park with the start and finish leaving from Fenton in Cary. Whether you’re looking to get a solid run in or showing up in solidarity, your effort fuels real change. Join us for a day of community, resilience, and the long run toward a future where no one with CF is left behind.
