5K COURSE
The 5K course is beautifully laid out along the paved Sammamish River Trail. Competitive racers will find a course that is flat, fast, and USATF certified. A professional timing company will be on hand to record official finish times and allocate prizes for the top finishers in each age category. The Dash is also tailored to groups of families and friends who wish to show their support for the Dash's cause by walking or jogging. The race format will have multiple waves of participants, so everyone will have a pacing group that is perfect for them!
THE CAUSE
Pancreatic Cancer Action Network
The participant registration fee is $25 and all of The Dash's net proceeds support the mission of the non-profit Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Among the major cancer killers, pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate and receives the least amount of research funding.
By participating in The Dash, you help us "outrun" pancreatic cancer not only through raising funds towards a cure, but also by signaling your support to those who are currently fighting pancreatic cancer.
DR. JOHN K. MCCORMICK FOUNDATION
The Dash is organized by the Dr. John K. McCormick Foundation. John, a 22-year resident of Redmond, WA, lost his battle to pancreatic cancer in November 2007 at the age of 56. John was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on July 6, 1951. After moving to Redmond in 1985, John practiced orthopedic surgery for over two decades while raising a family with his wife, Ann. Golfer, runner, avid student of everything (i.e. ukulele, banjo, Spanish, astronomy), John was greatly loved by his wife, Ann, 4 children--Kinsey, Kerry, Johnny, Meghan--and his extended family and friends.
In organizing The Dash, The Dr. John K. McCormick Foundation's overarching goals are to turn John McCormick's tragic loss to pancreatic cancer into an opportunity to stage an enriching community event while also raising awareness and funds towards a cure for pancreatic cancer.
