Cancer survivors and caregivers will be honored and may begin registering at the Survivor Table at 4 p.m. The luminary, raffle, and food booths will open at 4 p.m. and remain open throughout the evening.
The Relay Event officially begins at 5 p.m. with the Opening Ceremony as survivors take the honorary first lap, cheered on by those in attendance.
