Join us for San Francisco Virtual Miles for Melanoma on Saturday, November 14, 2020!

Locally partnering with the San Francisco Marathon!

Melanoma is the deadliest and fastest growing form of skin cancer and we all want a cure to be found soon. The Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) hosts the Miles for Melanoma each year so that communities can come together to take action and help support the fight and the mission of the MRF.

This year, however, is going to look a little different. The MRF's first priority is our constituents safety and health. To make sure you all remain as safe and secure as possible, we will be adhering to social distancing guidelines and moving many of our events to be virtual. With your amazing support, we can exceed our goal of raising $50,000 for the San Francisco Virtual Miles for Melanoma event and make a life-changing impact in our community.

 How does a Virtual 5K work?  

Beginning on Monday, November 9th, our virtual event will have a Team Week when there will be a fitness activity each day of the week leading up to the main event day and Virtual 5k on Saturday, November 14th. These activities will not only keep our community moving all week long with a daily challenge and some fun prizes but will also help you you and your team reach your fundraising goals!

On Saturday, November 14th, we will have the Miles for Melanoma San Francisco 5k. All of our individual participants and teams will be encouraged to walk, or run, together in their local neighborhood, their backyard or on their treadmill! We will provide you a link to submit your miles and times so we can be “together” even while apart.

I am super competitive! What about the Real-Time app?

Our Virtual 5k on November 14th will be hosted by Virtual365, a Real Time Live Race App which gives you a close to an in person race experience. The Virtual365 app allows you to follow along on our normal race day course as you walk/run your own course, complete head to head against other runners, have your race pace tracked and even have your friends and family follow your run!

The week of November 9th, be on the lookout for an email from “2020 San Francisco Virtual 5k Miles for Melanoma - Claim your Profile” with a subject line of “Get Ready to Race!”.  In that email will be a link to claim your profile and then download the Virtual365 app. You can take a practice walk/run to see how it works.
