The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is coming to Rancho Bernardo from June 23 – 24.  The event that takes place for 24 hours from 9 am – 9 am, will be held at Rancho Bernardo Community Park.

Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. Relayers do not have to walk all night, but each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event.

Walkers are asked to raise $100 worth of donations as well as pay a $10 fee.  Cancer survivors walk for free and receive a free breakfast.  All participants will receive a t-shirt.
