Miles for Meso is a 5K race and 3K fun run/walk that has taken place in Alton, Illinois since 2009. Hosted by Simmons Hanly Conroy and Metro Tri Club, this exciting event coincides with National Mesothelioma Awareness Day in September. The next event will take place on Sept. 19, 2026. We encourage you to run or walk with your family and friends around your neighborhood or favorite park.
