The Melissa Fund SUN RUN™ is a timed, USATF certified/sanctioned event for those interested in running. Non-running adults, teens, children, parents with strollers, and (child-friendly) dogs on leashes are all welcome to participate in the walking group. There will also be a short children's "run" right before the start time of the adult running group.

We highly encourage families to participate, especially because Melanoma is very often a young person’s cancer. It is important to educate children, parents, and young men and women on the dangers of this deadly disease - and the simple steps to protection.

The USATF certification and race timing encourages the participation of more serious adult and teen runners. The walking group will start right after the runners. Non-running adults, teens, children, parents with strollers, and (children friendly) dogs on leashes are all welcome to participate in the walking group. There will also be a short children's run right before the start of the official race.

If you cannot participate in the run, but would like to make a donation, please visit our DONATE page.
