Cheryl Diamond NYC 5K Cancer Schlep Run/Walk
The Cheryl Diamond NYC 5K Cancer Schlep Run/Walk is a charity road run and walk held in Central Park at the Naumburg Bandshell along Terrace Drive. The event features a 5K course and regularly attracts hundreds of participants spanning a wide age range, reported as ages 5 to 90.
The event raises awareness and funds for research and treatment related to breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer. Proceeds support global research on breast and ovarian cancer and BRCA mutation carriers, and they partially benefit the BRCA Multidisciplinary Clinic at Rabin Medical Center’s Davidoff Cancer Center. The event also promotes BRCA genetic screening awareness.
Awards are presented to top finishers overall by sex and to top finishers by age divisions, including categories such as 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+. Race-day services include online live results, same-day finish line photos, and video. There is no bag check at the event, and participants are strongly encouraged not to bring bags or valuables.
Registration for upcoming editions is not yet open. Bib pickup is handled at the Bandshell on race day and requires knowledge of the participant’s bib number; a self-lookup option is available for those who do not know their number. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
