The Renaissance Race Against Cancer 5K Run/Walk is a community-wide event held annually in Wisconsin Rapids. The 5th annual RRAC will take place on Saturday, June 13th. All funds are donated to the Cancer Patient Fund of the UW Cancer Center at Riverview Hospital, providing assistance to local cancer patients with expenses such as co-pays, transportation, nutrition, skin care, and more. Around 1,000 people participate in the 5K every year. The past four years have netted over $100,000 for the fund.

This chip-timed race begins at 9 a.m. sharp, rain or shine. A free quarter-mile Kids' Run precedes the 5K at 8:30 a.m. Prizes for the 5K will be awarded promptly at 10 a.m., going to overall male and female participants, top male male and female cancer survivors, wheelchair division, and five-year age categories for each gender.

Registration is available online starting 2/1/15, and by printed form from the race website. Registration is $25 online (no extra fees!) through 5/15/15 or by valid entry form postmarked by that date. Later registrations will be $30. Registration will be available online through 6/10/15. Participants may register on race day, 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. outside Renaissance Learning at the start of the race.
