About

Noah’s 5K Duck Dash is more than a race, it’s a day for families, friends, and the community to come together in support of children facing childhood cancer.

Proceeds from Duck Dash support the Noah Lee Legacy Foundation, helping families who must travel for lifesaving cancer care by easing the cost of lodging, transportation, and other immediate needs. Funds also support research and clinical trials for neuroblastoma and help raise awareness for pediatric cancer.

Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, your participation helps families feel supported and less alone.

A group of people gathered at the finish line of a race in a park, with trees and blue sky in the background. Some are wearing blue shirts, and there is a person in a duck costume on the left. The finish line arch has the word "FINISH" on it, and many people are standing, talking, and taking photos.
