Join us for the 20th anniversary of Hoosiers Outrun Cancer (HOC)!
HOC proudly supports members of our local community who are fighting cancer including patients, their family, and their friends. The Bloomington Health Foundation Cancer Support Fund assists – at no charge – those in our community with needs beyond clinical care: massage therapy, art therapy, patient and family support groups, transportation assistance and more. Over the last 19 years, HOC has raised over $3 million to maintain these necessary resources right here in the South Central Indiana. Thank you to our community partners and sponsors for their generosity and continued commitment to our cause!

We look forward to seeing you on September 28th at IU Memorial Stadium to run in memory of a loved one, walk in honor of someone battling cancer, or simply gather a fun team for a fantastic cause!

The U.S. Forest Service, Indiana University (IU) Health, and the IU Center for Rural Engagement have joined forces to promote the health benefits of nature and are offering a series of “Healthy Hoosier Hikes” this fall. Each guided hike will take place on a Hoosier National Forest trail, have a wellness theme, and a medical professional associated with IU Health will be on hand for conversation and questions.
The community hikes all begin at 12:30 p.m. and are scheduled for September 28, October 5, 12 and 26. Hikes will last up to three hours. Registration is required as space is limited. Visit https://wellnessoutinghikes.eventbrite.com.
The partner organizations have a goal of improving community health by promoting physical activities in natural settings and creating awareness of the physical and mental health benefits of being in nature. Studies show that being in nature reduces stress, improves mood and mental performance, inspires creativity, and may lead to longer lifespans. Physical activities such as hiking, biking or running, improve physical and mental health. Hoosier National Forest provides over 260 miles of trails for public access to nature between Monroe Reservoir and the Ohio River.

Maybe you’ve just started taking classes and you have questions. Or maybe you’ve read about the benefits of yoga for the mind and body and want to give it a try.

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing, bring a water bottle, a mat if you have one, or we will provide one, a water bottle, and your questions. Above all, be prepared to have fun!

*Attendance will be limited so there will be plenty of individual attention and time to ask questions.*
