Sebastian was a courageous 9 year old who bravely battled cancer and endured more in his brief life than any one person should. Despite all the hardship he faced during his battle with cancer, Sebastian never gave up hope and showed all those who were fortunate enough to know him the true meaning of courage. He truly was a warrior, and the Kids Cancer Foundation is honored to have this 5K race named in his memory. The family’s hope is that the funds generated by this race will help other families in our community who are facing the battle against childhood cancer and will help make their journey a little easier.
Event details and schedule
Hello participants
Thank you for signing up for the Kids Cancer Foundation 5k Walk/Run in Memory of Sebastian. The race will be a timed event taking place at 8am at the Royal Palm Beach Commons Park. The start and finish of the race will take place on the road by the water fountains. The first half of the race please stay on the outside of the path (red and blue section in the map). We will have signs and volunteers directing participants in the correct directions. After mile 1.25 participants will be directed on the path behind the dog park (part of the yellow section in map). The half way point will have the water stop in the road. The last section of the course will be around the back side of the park (light blue and green section in map). Participants will finish by running along the sidewalk by the parking lot for the golf range and up and through the finish line (part of green section). Participants should not go over any bridges. If you do you are off course. Same day registration and packet pick up will start at 7 am but we encourage you to take advantage of the Pre-Race Packet Pickup the week before the race to avoid long pick-up lines the day of the race. Pre-Race packet pick up will be at the Kids Cancer Center located at: 246 Royal Palm Beach Blvd. Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411 and will run Monday, October 21st -Thursday, October 24th from 8am to 7pm & Friday, October 25th from 8am to 2pm. The day of the race please plan to arrive in enough time to park and carpool if possible. Parking will be on the grassy area next to the dog park. Awards will be given for overall winners, age group winners and Largest Team. There will also be a Fall Festival during and after the event so feel free to dress up and come and enjoy all the family fun activities and games in addition to supporting the over 400 children and families battling childhood cancer in our community. Little Warriors need Big Heroes like YOU! Thank you for helping us help them fight.
