5k for FA
May 6, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Help us raise money for the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund in honor of Eli Lana, of Hilton, NY.
5K registration and virtual participation registrations are guaranteed tech/wicking fabric shirts if registered by April 17th. After this date cotton shirts will be substituted while supplies last.
The course is USATF sanctioned and is a beautifully maintained cross country trail through open and wooded areas of Parma Town Park. It’s moderately challenging with a few hills. This is NOT a road race. Whether you’re walking or running, you’ll enjoy the picturesque surroundings and you’ll want to come back!
About Fanconi Anemia
Fanconi anemia is an inherited disease that can lead to bone marrow failure and cancer. Though considered primarily a blood disease, FA may affect all systems of the body. It is a complex and chronic disorder that is psychologically demanding. FA is also a cancer-prone disease, affecting patients decades earlier than the general population.
