About the Your Next Step is the Cure 5K
This is a charity race built around Ocular Melanoma, a rare cancer, with proceeds going to research at a cancer center in the area. The course is chip-timed, so splits are tracked. Age group awards go deep into the field, which draws people who want a result, not just a morning out. Exhibitors set up near the finish, and there is an awards ceremony after.
