Please note this is an archived calendar event.

We are honoring Meaghan Latone, a young Rochester mom who lost her battle with non-smokers lung cancer. At Meaghan's request, all money raised through this event will go to the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center and the Lipson Cancer Center, directed toward lung cancer research.

Race Director Gail Zicari Wagner read Meaghan's essay in the November '07 Democrat and Chronicle and decided to help Meaghan draw attention to this disease through this race/walk.

We had our first Meaghan's 5K race and walk on April 12, 2008 and drew 800 participants-families, athletes, survivors-and raised almost $60,000 that went directly to Rochester's Wilmot Cancer Center for lung cancer research. In 2009 almost 900 braved a blizzard like day to raise over $60,000 again. This year on June 12th we hope for a sunny day to entice many more to join us for a great, flat and fast 5k course, delicious and abundant post race food and even a party later in the day with Meaghan's brother Sean's band.

Registration Fees:
$20.00 prior to June 5th
$25.00 after June 5th
$15.00 Students
Children under 10 Free

Registration fees waived for those raising $50 or more in pledges.
