Get your walking shoes/sneakers out for the 3rd annual Center for Cancer Care 5k Walk/Run beginning at 9:00 am Saturday, October 1 at the Center, located across the street from the hospital at 350 Seymour Avenue in Derby. 

Entertainment and post-event refreshments will be available for all participants and their family members to enjoy.

Proceeds from this fun, non-competitive event are earmarked for patient support programs at the Center for Cancer Care. 

Participants can walk or run individually, or may form a team with their family, friends and co-workers. Participants may also collect pledges or purchase a commemorative sign to honor or memorialize a loved one. These signs will be displayed on the day of the event.

The 5k course starts and ends at the Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital. The 3.1 mile course will take you through the flats and the rolling hills of the neighborhood surrounding the Cancer Center.

Check-in for the event begins at 7:30 a.m., with the walk/run scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m. 

Pre-registration is required, and the first 750 registered participants will receive long sleeve t-shirts.
