Glow in the Park 5k is a fun run inspired by the idea that cancer never sleeps! Runners gather at Central Park to race at MIDNIGHT through fun glow stations. Be sure to wear your glow in the dark gear! Runners celebrate by dancing at the Silent Disco party hosted by HushConcerts until 3am.
Glow in the Park 5k is hosted by Relay For Life of Santa Clarita Valley, a 24 hour event to fight cancer. All proceeds benefit the free cancer programs and services that the American Cancer Society provides to cancer patients.

Mission Statement
The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.
Description
At Relay For Life events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds you raise truly make a difference in the fight against cancer: rides to treatment, hotel stays, support groups, research, and so much more. Relay For Life teams camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around a track or path at a local high school, park, or fairground. Events are up to 24 hours long, and because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.
