In just over a month the Knoxville Cancer Relay will be held for the 6th straight year. The event will be held Thursday, October 24th and run through Friday, October 25th. Proceeds from the relay will all go towards the annual best-in-the-nation Coaches vs Cancer event which will be held in January. Steve Linsley with the relay tells KNIA/KRLS News title sponsors are still being accepted and will be accepted until Friday, September 27th. Cost to be a title sponsor is $1,000 and will have the sponsoring person or organization added to this year’s t-shirts. This year the relay will feature a special Memory/Honor mile that will be marked along Highway 14. People can make donations for signs to honor those who have battled or are currently fighting cancer with the signs to be placed along a special one-mile stretch at the end of the route. The relay will conclude at the start of the Knoxville football game at Ken Locke stadium.
