Description
AIM at Melanoma Foundation presents the 18th Annual Block Melanoma 5K Run and 2 Mile Walk.
If you or a loved one have been touched by melanoma, NOW is the time to step up. NOW is the time to help provide hope and inspiration to those fighting melanoma and to act on behalf of future patients.
Block Melanoma helps raise funds to end melanoma, and your participation and fundraising make all the difference. The money you raise goes to AIM’s groundbreaking research initiatives like our International Melanoma Tissue Bank Consortium.
You'll never forget how attending this event made you feel - empowered, hopeful, excited, proud, and so much more. This is one day you'll remember all year. Join us on race day to honor all those affected by the world’s deadliest skin cancer, melanoma.

Aid Stations
There is one aid station on the run course.
Course
The 5K course is super flat and fast and accessible to runners or all ages and abilities. The run course is two laps around the Fox River using paved trails within the park. All runners will run by the finish line after their first lap (not through) -- on their second lap, runners will run through the finish line. In order to accommodate a shared start/finish line, the 5K course is slightly longer (about 5.5 km, or 3.4 miles).
Walkers will complete one lap around the park.
Timing
The race is chip timed by Silver Circle Sports Events, LLC with a chip start. Your time will start when you cross the start line and stops when you cross the finish line. Please place your bib on the front of your torso.
Volunteers Needed
We need volunteers for everything from goody bag stuffing to course marshals. If you or your group have an interest in volunteering, we would greatly appreciate the assistance. All volunteers can run a future race at no charge. Register to volunteer by clicking on the volunteer link in the menu above.
