Outpacing Melanoma 5K
About the Event
When life gives you lemons - peel out and run for the cure!
The 15th Annual Outpacing Melanoma 5K is Sunday, May 3, 2026, on National Lemonade Day. Join us as we fight melanoma with zest. Lace up your shoes and let's squeeze out melanoma as we race toward a brighter, melanoma-free future.
Every mile you run and every dollar you raise helps fund vital research and increase awareness for prevention and early detection in our greater Kansas City community. Your participation, whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, provides refreshing hope for those battling this disease.
A scenic 5K run/walk for all ages and fitness levels. Strollers and dogs on a leash are welcome. A special post-race celebration with lemonade stands and activities for kids and families. Themed shirts (size not guaranteed if registering after April 11th) and awards for top finishers. New this year – for the first time in 15 years, we will have a custom Outpacing Melanoma “Finisher Medal”. 5K participants must be wearing their race bib to receive a finisher medal.
