Runyon 5K—Run/Walk for Cancer Research
Registration is now open for the second annual Damon Runyon 5K at Yankee Stadium, a unique fundraising run/walk that uses the Stadium as its course. This year’s event will be held while baseball season is in full swing, on Sunday, August 15, 2010. Run or walk the concourses and ramps, climb stairs between levels, and follow in the footsteps of the World Champion Yankees by taking your own victory laps around the warning track that circles the field.
Staggered start times will be assigned to participants, with runners starting first according to pace at 9:30am, while walkers can take to the course at approximately 11:30am. Registration fees are $50 for adults and $35 for students and children through July 15th, but will increase to $60 and $40, respectively, for anyone who registers from July 16th through August 6th. Each fee includes a tax-deductible donation to cancer research. Registration will close at 5pm on August 6th or when capacity has been reached.
Volunteers are also needed to help us make the Runyon 5K a home run for cancer research! If you’re interested in volunteering, please email volunteers@damonrunyon.org or call 212.455.0503.
