A chip-timed 5K through Summit for participants of all ages and abilities to walk or run in honor of someone impacted by cancer, to remember loved ones, and to celebrate the legacies that inspire us to keep moving forward.

A special race just for kids 6 and under! This shorter course will be held on the Village Green grass. To keep things safe and fun, we’ll organize participants into smaller age-level heats based on the total number of children registered or for those who created their very own Kids Dash Team. After their first run, runners will be grouped again with peers of similar speed for a second dash so everyone gets another chance to race, cheer, and have fun. All participants receive their own race bib and a medal.
