 _ The 2017 Do It For Delaney 5K & 10K is a community event for runners, walkers, families and friends to help special needs children. Do It For Delaney was originally created to raise funds for uncovered therapy costs for Delaney Thomas. Delaney was born with an extremely rare genetic CASK gene duplication resulting in microcephaly and cerebral palsy. Due to the community’s overwhelming support, Do It For Delaney has turned into a much larger event helping special needs children and their families.

On October 21, 2017, we are holding our 5th  annual “Do It for Delaney” 10K, 5K and Kids All-Abilities Fun Race at Quarry Lakes Regional Park in Fremont. We are excited to announce that Conductiva, a conductive education learning program, Friends of Children with Special Needs, a Bay Area resource for special needs families, and The Parker Lee Project, supporting medically dependent children will benefit from Do It For Delaney 2017.

 - COURSE MARKING

All participants can receive a copy of the course map on race day. If this is your first time on this course, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the course and note the location of the water and aid stations and bathrooms. The course will be marked with ribbons, flour and signs to help keep runners on the correct course. Volunteers will also be on the course at key locations to help direct runners.

RUNNING/WALKING CONDITIONS

The route of 10K and 5K Run/Walk are on gravel-like paths. While this does not pose any hazardous conditions (as Quarry Lakes hosts many Run/Walk events), participants should prepare accordingly. Parents with strollers are highly encouraged to use baby joggers with inflated, rubber wheels.
