Run Walk to Remember 5K / 10K / Fun Run 2027

The Run Walk to Remember begins at McFadden Plaza in Carson City. Check-in is at 8:00 AM, with the race starting at 9:00 AM. Participants can choose between a 5K run, a 10K run, or a Fun Run. The event is centered on love and remembrance, with funds raised to help end Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. The event is more of a community gathering than a competition, bringing together runners, walkers, families, and supporters for a shared morning. The cause resonates deeply, as one in three seniors die with Alzheimer's or another dementia, and these diseases claim more lives than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. The organizers enhance the event with live music, raffle prizes, and a purple-themed costume contest. Participants can collect their bibs and shirts early at Dickson Realty on North Curry Street.
