The Alton Miles for Meso is a 5K race and 3K fun run/walk normally held in historic Alton, Illinois. This year's event will be a virtual race on Saturday, Sept. 25. Everyone who registers will receive a "Lucky 13" participation medal in addition to the regular long-sleeve, moisture-wicking T-shirt.
Participants will have from Sept. 25 to Sept. 26 to virtually report their results on the results page. Please share pictures and join in our social conversations on Facebook and Twitter by using the hashtag #MilesForMeso.
Presented by Simmons Hanly Conroy and coordinated by the Metro Tri Club, all proceeds from the event will benefit the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization. Since 2009, the race has raised more than $430,000 for mesothelioma cancer research.
