Kick Cancer Pep Rally and 5k Run

Join the City of Schertz at the Kick Cancer Pep Rally and 5K Run, formerly the Wilenchik Walk for Life, on Saturday, March 5 as the community comes together to rally in support of the many cancer research programs of the UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center.

In 2009, the City hosted the inaugural 5K event in honor of former Schertz City Councilmember Tony Wilenchik. Tony was diagnosed in 2004 with Stage-4 Leiomyosarcoma, a rare cancer. Tony’s determination to face the disease head-on helped the City create a fund-raising event to help research cures for cancer.

Kick Cancer will allow participants to celebrate cancer research, remember family members lost to cancer, and honor those still fighting.

 

Registered participants will receive a custom race medal, event t-shirt, race bib if registered by February 15. Registration will remain open through March 5 (race t-shirts are not guaranteed).

Race goodie bags will be available Friday, March 4, 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. at the Schertz Parks & Recreation Office, 10 Commercial Place, Bldg 1. and Saturday, March 5 during the event.

Sponsors are welcome. If you are interested in sponsoring the Kick Cancer Pep Rally & Run, please call (210) 619-1850.
 

Registration will open January 3, 2022 through CivicRec or in person at the Parks & Recreation Office located at 10 Commercial Place, Bldg. 1. For more information call (210) 619-1850, or email parksandrec@schertz.com.
