Noah’s 5K Duck Dash 2025: A Day of Hope, Courage & Community

This September, more than 300 runners and walkers gathered in Auburn, WA for the very first Noah’s 5K Duck Dash — and together we raised over $40,000 to support families facing childhood cancer.

When we dreamed up the Duck Dash, we wanted more than just a race. We wanted a day that honored Noah’s brave spirit — full of joy, courage, and connection — while raising real, practical help for families who, like ours once did, must travel far from home for life-saving treatment.

The result was a morning filled with:

  • 🏃‍♀️ 300+ participants of all ages, from speedy sprinters to stroller-pushing families.

  • 🎈 Community fun — face painting, balloon artists, music, raffle baskets, and even free coffee.

  • 💛 43 generous sponsors and in-kind donors who made every detail possible.

Every dollar raised helps us provide lodging, transportation, care packages, and hope to families fighting childhood cancer.

“Your support helps us honor Noah’s brave spirit and bring comfort, hope, and practical help to families facing childhood cancer.”

We’re already planning for next year!
🗓 Save the date: Saturday, September 12, 2026.
Registration will open in the spring — keep an eye on our website and follow @noahleelegacy for updates.
