From the Organizer
Join us for the annual PJ St. Martin and Zack Dobbin Memorial 5K and Fun Run on October 3, 2026, at Frank Liske Park! This race supports Camp CARE (Cancer Ain’t Really the End), a local organization that offers a weeklong summer camp and year-round activities for children who have or have had cancer, and their families.
At Camp CARE, kids are more than just cancer patients—they are kids, first and foremost. The camp creates a space for fun, friendship, and support throughout each family's journey. By participating in this race, you are helping to provide these children with the opportunity to experience joy and connection, and to create lasting memories.
Come run or walk in support of these amazing kids and their families! This year is an evening race with a glow theme!
