On Sunday morning, June 24, 2012, hundreds of runners will join together with family members, colleagues and survivors for the 3rd annual North Shore Cancer RUN. The Cancer RUN is a partnership race between the North Shore Medical Center and the Wicked Running Club.
We are excited about a few new changes taking place with this year’s Cancer RUN! The new start time of the RUN will now be 7:30 am. The Cancer RUN has been selected as a Road Runners Club of America State Championship race and the course is now USATF certified.
The 5K (3.1 mile) run follows a modified WALK course and is fast and flat, ensuring a great time of all runners. The RUN winds through historic Salem, featuring an array of entertainers that lend a festive air to this profound community event. We encourage you to become part of this annual celebration of the life, hope and courage of all those who have been touched by this disease.
