From the Organizer
"Out Running Cancer" for 27 years!
The 3.1-mile Shelter Island Fall 5K course is a challenging, scenic course along tree-lined streets featuring rolling hills and finishing with panoramic waterfront views along Crescent Beach. The Shelter Island Fall 5k was created out of love and memory for those who have fought and those currently fighting breast and women's cancers. Our mission is to raise funds and awareness for our beneficiaries; The North Fork Breast Health Coalition, The Coalition for Women's Cancers and Lucia's Angels. All race proceeds for our beneficiaries go directly to patient care for women on the east end of Long Island.
