‘24 Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes Walkathon and 5K Registration Now Open

Registration for the annual Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes Walkathon and 5K is now open, Cayuga Health has announced. The event raises funds and spreads awareness for cancer support services. The walkathon and 5K will take place on Saturday, October 5th from 8am to noon at Cass Park in Ithaca.

Cayuga Health says participants of all ages and abilities are welcome to join the easy two-mile walk along the Riverfront Trail at Cass Park. Breakfast will be available for pre-purchase during registration with both gluten free and vegan options available by the Silver Spoon.

“It’s amazing to see how everyone comes out of the woodwork around Walkathon to show how much and how deeply we all care for our friends, family, and neighbors affected by cancer,” said Carla Baudrons, Donor Relations and Marketing Coordinator for the Cancer Resource Center. “No one should face cancer alone, and it’s truly because of the generosity of our community that we’re able to make sure they don’t!”

All proceeds from the Walkathon will go directly towards the Cancer Resource Center’s programs and services. These programs and services provide crucial support for cancer patients and their families.
