About the Event

The Outrun the Sun Race Against Melanoma is not just another race. To the survivors who don their special blue race T-shirts, it’s a reminder that life is a gift. To the families who gather in support of loved ones with advanced melanoma, it’s a race against time to finding a cure. To the donors and sponsors who support the event, it’s knowing that your support has meaning and impact.

Outrun the Sun, Inc. is dedicated to building awareness of melanoma and other skin cancers, educating communities about preventive measures that reduce melanoma’s incidence rate, and to raising funds for melanoma research, leading to effective treatments and a potential cure.

The Outrun the Sun Race Against Melanoma includes a 5-mile timed run, 5K non-competitive run and a 1-mile fun run. Races are followed by the Sunset Festival where friends and family can gather for music, food and fun. Event proceeds benefit skin cancer education and melanoma research programs at Outrun the Sun, Inc.
