2nd Annual Race to the Moon and Back 5k run/walk...

• 5K Run / Walk:- Run 3.1 Miles

The second annual "Race to the Moon and Back" 5K run/walk will be held on Sunday, June 11, 2017 at 9:00am at Lagoon Valley Park in Vacaville, California. The 5k walk/run was created in the memory of Ken Moon. Ken was an avid runner/hiker who loved running and hiking the trails of Lagoon Valley Park. Ken passed away on December 14, 2015, his 61^st birthday, after a courageous 2.5 year battle with Pancreatic Cancer. 

We are proud to be partnering once again with Project Purple, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and all proceeds from the race will go to their organization whose mission is to fund research for early detection and a cure for pancreatic cancer. Also, through fundraising efforts, Project Purple offers scholarships for children of pancreatic cancer patients, as well as those patients who have succumbed to the disease. In addition, Project Purple assists patients who struggle with medical, pharmacy, and everyday living expenses related to their fight against pancreatic cancer. 

 The event showcases the beautiful scenic views of the park. The 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk will be chip timed and be run on 75% dirt and 25% asphalt bike trails. There is a short hill on your way out and back. The course will be specifically marked and will have course monitors along the route. There will be a water station at the half way point. There will be water, electrolytes, bagels and fruit at the end of the race. Event includes a custom event t-shirt if you register by May 31. While supplies last after.

If you cannot attend the 5k run/walk at Lagoon Valley Park in Vacaville on June 11th, there will also be an opportunity to donate to the cause by participating in a virtual run/walk on race day from where you live.

Help us keep Ken's dream alive to find a cure for Pancreatic Cancer.  Please walk or run with us or simply donate to the cause.
