Austin Hatcher Foundation Announces 6th Annual “Bubbles of Fun Run” to Support Families Facing Pediatric Cancer

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (Nov. 12, 2025) – The Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer is thrilled to announce its 6th Annual Bubbles of Fun Run to be held Saturday, February 21, 2026, at Tennessee RiverPark, Hubert Fry Center, Shelter #4 . 

The run will include certified, chip-timed 5K and 10K races as well as a 1-mile fun run for children and walkers (leashed pets welcome). Event registration includes a t-shirt, custom race bib, "grab and go" swag items (available at the race), and a donation to the Foundation. Funds raised through the event directly support and provide services to families facing pediatric cancer. 

In keeping with the Austin Hatcher Foundation’s logo, bubbles will be blown at various stations throughout the course. Runners can also blow bubbles along the way, filling the course with an uplifting and hope-filled atmosphere.‍

“‍Community is at the center of the Bubbles of Fun Run,” said Sarah Anderson, Events and Community Relations Coordinator at the Foundation. "Whether you are training for a marathon or taking an intentional stroll with your loved ones, we all come together for a common cause: to positively impact the lives of those facing pediatric cancer.”
