Run or Volunteer at an Undy 5000 5K Race

The Undy 5000 is a family-friendly 5K run/walk created by the Colon Cancer Alliance. The cities of Sacramento, San Diego, and St. Louis all host Undy 5000 races in March, or you can find a 2013 Undy 5000 near you. Running, walking, or volunteering at one of these events will help raise awareness about colon cancer and bring in funds for local screening programs.
