We are disappointed to announce that the Damon Runyon 5K at Yankee Stadium will not take place in 2024. Thank you to all the runners, walkers, volunteers, and donors who have supported the innovative young scientists funded by through their loyal participation in the since 2009. While we will miss seeing you at this year, we hope to bring the Runyon 5K back in 2025 and will keep you updated.
If you are still interested in raising funds for cancer research this year without climbing 286 steps inside a ballpark, we encourage you to set up a Facebook or Instagram Fundraiser, or email [email protected] so we can create a team or individual online fundraising page for you.
Special thanks to the amazing members of Team Rhino, who came up with a creative alternative to support the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation!
