The John Wayne Grit Series gives trail runners the opportunity to run through rugged Western landscapes and iconic movie sets where John Wayne once sauntered, all while raising valuable funds for cancer research and treatment. First held in 2019 in California and Colorado, the Grit Series for 2022 now features five different runs across the west, including Pioneertown and Newport Coast, and seeks to raise money and awareness for the John Wayne Cancer Foundation’s continued efforts to beat cancer at every turn. Stacy Mulder, Vice President for the John Wayne Cancer Foundation, discusses what to expect from these events.
