Run or walk a 10K or 5K! Participate competitively or just for fun!
Everyone is welcome, so bring the family and enjoy a day at the park
with your local community! Do It For DELANEY IS A COMMUNITY EVENT FOR
RUNNERS, walkers, families and friends to help special needs children.
Do It For DELANEY WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED TO RAISE FUNDS FOR UNCOVERED
THERAPY COSTS FOR DELANEY THOMAS. DELANEY WAS BORN WITH AN EXTREMELY
RARE GENETIC CASK GENE DUPLICATION RESULTING IN MICROCEPHALY AND
CEREBRAL PALSY. Due to the community’s overwhelming support, Do It
For DELANEY HAS TURNED INTO A MUCH LARGER EVENT HELPING SPECIAL NEEDS
CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. We are excited to announce that
Conductiva, a conductive education learning program, Friends of
Children with Special Needs, a Bay Area resource for special needs
families, and The Parker Lee Project, supporting medically dependent
children will benefit from Do It For DELANEY. Remote Racing We offer a
"remote racing" option because we know not everyone can make it to the
park on race day. If you would like to determine your own race course
and date and receive some race materials by mail. You can register as
a remote runner online. We encourage you to share with the Do It For
DELANEY COMMUNITY WHAT COURSE YOU ARE GOING TO RUN, your finish time
and your photo's. We are excited to have you join us and look forward
to hear about your run! Those registering online by October 1st can
expect their Do It For DELANEY REMOTE RUNNER PACKAGE TO MAILED BY
OCTOBER 7.Event details and scheduleEvent details and schedule RACE

to help direct runners. WATER & AID STATIONS Water and aid stations

miles into the 5K course. An additional water/aid station will be
located at the turn around for the 10K. Should medical assistance be

should carry their own water bottle or hydration pack. BATHROOMS
Bathrooms will be available at the race start/finish area. There are
also two bathroom locations on the course. RUNNING/WALKING CONDITIONS
The 10K & 5K route on gravel-like paths. While this does not pose
any hazardous conditions (as Quarry Lakes hosts many Run/Walk
events), participants should prepare accordingly. Parents with
strollers are highly encouraged to use baby joggers with
inflated, rubber wheels. Note: The Kids All Abilities Run will
be hosted on a paved road. CHANGING DISTANCES You can change your
distance on race morning. Downgrading is free. Upgrading requires
paying the difference between your paid registration fee and the race
day registration fee. On race day, pick-up your bib from the current
distance you registered for, let them know you want to change your
distance. They will direct you to take your bib to the “change
desk” and exchange it for the new distance. Pay fees, if
applicable. Be sure to bring cash or a check. EARLY BIB PICK-UP If
