2026 Race for the Family
The Race for the Family is our "fun" run/walk/bike fundraiser raising support for grants for fertility treatment or adoption.
The Cade Foundation's Maryland Race for the Family, hosted by Shady Grove Fertility, is our fun run/walk that celebrates the strength and courage it takes to OVERCOME infertility. All proceeds from the event fund Family Building Grants that help others afford the costs associated with fertility treatment or adoption.
What is it? The Race for the Family is a few things.... an amazing community gathering celebrating ALL THINGS connected to family building and more! We will be at the National Harbor located at 65 Waterfront St, National Harbor, MD 20745.
When is it? 6/13/26 from 7am-11am (in person) Or... (virtual) Any time/ any place you choose between 6/1 and 6/13.
Also..
- A 1 mile fun walk/run along the paved route
- A 5k fun walk/run along the paved route
-A 10 k bike ride along the paved route
- A children's learning and play area (Savannah's Playground) and a "toddler trot" where kiddos 2-6 years old can race.
Finish Line: Our finish line, FertiliFest, is a finish line party for all event registrants including a DJ and dance party, games, snacks and SUPPORT from groups and organizations that support families overcoming infertility. From fertility care (fertility treatment, legal, donor eggs and surrogacy and more+++) to adoption to pop up resources for thriving (mental health, coaching, massage and so much more), this is a great space for families to learn and grow.
