About the event 

Miles for Melanoma is a 5k Run/Walk fundraising event founded over ten years ago to support the MRF’s vision to create better outcomes for patients. To date, Miles for Melanoma events have brought together thousands of participants, including melanoma patients, survivors, doctors and caregivers, to raise over $7,000,000.
