Cheryl Diamond NYC 5K Cancer Schlep Run/Walk
The Cheryl Diamond NYC 5K Cancer Schlep is a community 5K run and walk held in Central Park on June 21, 2026. The event assembles hundreds of participants from a wide age range and uses a 5K course within the park. The meeting point is at the Naumburg Bandshell, 307 The Mall, Mid-Central Park; park entry is available at West 72nd Street and Central Park West or East 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue. Public transit options include the C or B to West 72nd Street and the 6 to 68th Street.
Proceeds and fundraising support global research on breast and ovarian cancer and BRCA mutation carriers, and they partially benefit the BRCA Multidisciplinary Clinic at Rabin Medical Center Davidoff Cancer Center. The event promotes awareness and education about BRCA genetic screening and related cancer care. Participation options include individual and team entries for the run and walk; team creation is optional and does not necessarily function as a fundraiser team.
Race-day logistics note that bib pickup is available at the Bandshell before the event and that there is no bag check on site. Registration may include a shirt but sizes are not guaranteed for those who register on race day. Awards are given to top finishers overall and in age-group categories.
