Walk, run, or bike across the busiest bridge in the world, free from traffic, high above the Hudson River, to raise funds and support the mission of the American Cancer Society. The GWB Challenge is the only event that shuts down the George Washington Bridge; for 22 years, participants have crossed from New Jersey to New York in an uplifting salute to cancer survivors and their families. After crossing the bridge there are several different scenic courses of varying distances that participants may follow, before meeting up at Allison Park for the GWB Challenge Picnic. Choose your course and sign up today!

We are saving lives. But we can’t do it without your help and the money you raise. Make sure team members and donors realize how important their contributions are. Let them know that their support fuels impressive progress in the fight against cancer on all fronts. Donations raised through the GWB Challenge support the American Cancer Society's efforts to fund groundbreaking cancer research, provide up-to-date cancer prevention and early detection information to educate people about the disease, advocate for all people to have access to quality cancer care, and offer free programs and services to improve the quality of life for people facing cancer and their families.
