The 3.1-mile course starts at the Spanish River Athletic Complex (1370 Spanish River Blvd., Boca Raton), and begins at 7:15 a.m. If a shorter distance is more your cup of tea, there’s a one-mile walk option that kicks off at 8:15 a.m. Children (16 years and under) are also eligible to participate in the one-mile event.
Registration is $32.50; $22.50 for the one-mile walk; and $17.50 for the 16-years-and-under one-miler. Note that online registration ends April 25. Registration costs include a post-race pancake breakfast and refreshments.
Race proceeds go four local agencies: the Caridad Center of Palm Beach County, Melanoma Research at Moffitt Cancer Center (a partner of Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s Lynn Cancer Center), Dermatology Medical Missions, Inc.and the Richard David Kann Melanoma Foundation.
