About the race
The Racin' to Beat Cancer event at Burke Lake Park offers timed road and trail races in three distances and supports the charity We Rock Cancer. Points from this event count toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k, Endurance, and Back of the Pack series, and toward the Fall Series.
Distances:
- 5k
- 10k
- Half marathon
Courses run on maintained park trails that are described as fairly flat with exposed roots to navigate. The 5k and 10k follow a single out-and-back route; the half marathon is an out-and-back run completed twice. The half marathon carries a completion time limit of 3 hours 15 minutes. A virtual race option is available for those unable to attend in person.
Runners receive a finisher’s medal, a technical Dri-Fit event shirt, and chip timing. Water stations are provided along each course: nine for the half, three for the 10k, and two for the 5k; Gatorade is available at some stations. Restrooms are located at the far end of the parking lot from Shelter A. Packet pickup is offered the Friday before the race at Road Runner Sports, with additional pickup available on race day.
Awards include top three overall men and women plus first and second place male and female in standard age groups (19 & under; 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59; 60-69; 70+). Live results are posted online and final results with series points are published after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
