Event Description
The first annual "Race to the Moon and Back" 5K run/walk will be held on Sunday, June 12, 2016 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 61st birthday, after a courageous 2 ½ year battle with Pancreatic Cancer. Proceeds from this race will go towards a memorial bench in the Park and Project Purple for awareness about Pancreatic Cancer and additional research to help find a cure.
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 June 1. While supplies last after.
If you cannot attend the 5k run/walk at Lagoon Valley Park in Vacaville on June 12th, 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.
