One of New York City’s most unique events, the Runyon 5K is a charitable run/walk that uses Yankee Stadium as its course. 100% of donations raised by participants directly support innovative young scientists funded by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.

Unfortunately, the Runyon 5K will not take place in 2024. Thank you to all our loyal participants, volunteers, and donors for supporting brave and bold scientists who continue to make breakthroughs in every area of cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
