IT'S ALMOST GAME TIME!
The summer is flying by and we are getting ready to welcome back our loyal Runyon 5K supporters! We have been busy working on our new website and are almost ready to launch. Stay tuned for a registration announcement next week! Our website isn’t the only thing that’s changing though, so please see below for important information regarding this year’s event.
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- The seventh annual Damon Runyon 5K at Yankee Stadium will be held on Sunday, November 15, 2015, beginning at 9:30am. Start times will be staggered. Runners will start first according to pace, followed by walkers.
- We are kicking things off with a Kids Fun Run this year! Children ages 5-12 can run one lap around the warning track while our elite runners are queuing up to tackle the 5K. The Kids Fun Run will start at 9:00am and the entry fee is $25.
- Runners and walkers participating in the Runyon 5K can register for $40 through September 15. The entry fee will increase to $50 on September 16, and to $60 on October 16. Sign up early and save!
- There is no minimum fundraising requirement this year, but we still encourage you to raise money! It’s the best way to make an impact on the fight against cancer. We’ll have some great fundraising incentive prizes available, too.
- The Runyon 5K route will still include concourses, ramps, stairs, and the warning track, but you may have heard there’s a new team in town. New York City Football Club is playing its inaugural season at Yankee Stadium, which also plays host to a college football bowl game. On November 15, 2015, the warning track may surround a soccer field or a college football field, but it will still be Yankee Stadium. No matter what the field configuration is, we think you’ll get a kick out of the Runyon 5K.
- 100% of all donations you raise will directly support the innovative young scientists funded by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.
