Northern Wake Relay For Life team captains will meet Tuesday, April 15, at 7:30 p.m. at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 830 Durham Road. The public is invited to join the fight against cancer and learn more about the American Cancer Society’s efforts to find cures while supporting cancer survivors.
Runners of all ages are invited to lace up and party down at the first Marga-Relay-Ville 5k on Saturday, May 17, at Heritage High School in Wake Forest. The charity run is in conjunction with the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life that weekend at the school.
Registration for the timed 5k is a $25 donation to the fight against cancer. Sign up at www.NorthernWakeRelay.org and look for Relay 5k, or contact Melissa Kobelinski at melissa.kobelinski@cancer.org or 919-334-5228.
Wheelchairs, wagons, strollers and walkers are also invited to take part (but no pets or bicycles). Vendor booths are available for $25 and commemorative race shirts are $15 each.
Every dollar raised through the 5k goes to the American Cancer Society’s efforts to eliminate cancer and support those battling the disease. The race starts at 9 a.m. on May 17.
