Join the Fight for a Cure!
Saturday May 4th Bike Tour, Sunday May 5th Run Events

This event is designed to heighten public awareness and raise funds for pediatric cancer research. A fun-filled family weekend is planned where both adults and children join together to support Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation's mission to raise funds to improve the care, quality of life and survival rate of children with cancer.

We will have the already popular USA Track and Field certified half marathon winding through Irvine's tree-lined streets and paths as well as the 10K and 5K runs (all chip-timed) and the 5K walk and 1K Kids Fun Run. The 50K and 50 Mile Bike Tours will take you on a journey through Santiago Canyon.

Start/Finish festivities include many fun and informative booths, lots of food giveaways, exhibits, entertainment, games, face painting and kids activities.
