The 19th Annual event is on Sunday, October 30, 2016 on the campus of U.C.L.A. in West LA. The event benefits The Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.

Our New Permanent Home will be on the campus of UCLA.

The 5K is 3.1 miles and the 10K is 6.2. The Kids Can Cure Fun Run is open to children ages 2 - 7. Most kids 8 and older walk, jog or run the 5K.

Please click here for the complete Race Day Schedule.

Our race will be chip timed. Each runner will wear a bib number on the front of their body and a timing chip on their shoe. The chip identifies runners as they cross electronic mats placed at the finish line. Bib numbers and chips can be picked up on race morning, or on Saturday, October 29 at Packet Pick Up.

Yes, children of all ages are welcome. Children being pushed in strollers do not need to register. Children running in the Kids Can Cure Fun Run need to be registered, and will receive a finishers prize. Adults can bring their children and either walk the 5K/10K with them, push them in a stroller, or leave them with another adult from your party in the expo area while you race. (There will be lots for kids to do but they need to be supervised). Last year we had children as young as five walk or run the entire 5K. We also ask that families walking the race start at the back of the line and allow the competitive runners to take off first.

NOTE: For the Kids Can Cure Fun Run, children must walk or run this very short race, which is broken down into heats by age (very young children can have parents accompany them). Children as young as 2 years of age have participated. Strollers, bikes and scooters are not allowed during the kids race.

Our Fit Family Expo will feature food and beverage samples from our sponsors.

Please, for the safety of all runners, bikes, rollerblades, dogs, scooters, heelies, etc are not permitted along the race course. We encourage you to bike, blade or scooter to UCLA, just not along the course with the runners and walkers.
