A family favorite, the ISF 5K, 10K & Fun Run for Kid’s Cancer event presented by Red Ventures on Saturday, September 28 is a great way to spend your morning with friends and family while making an impact on kids fighting cancer!  In its 12th year, the ISF event has added a NEW BRUNCH experience provided by Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, Tito’s Vodka and NoDa Brewing. We aren’t talking about just donuts and simply eggs and bacon.  How does chicken and waffle sandwiches with honey hot sauce sound?  How about fried green tomatoes with country ham, goat cheese, and pepper jelly? Beignets, biscuit, and pancake station anyone? That is just a small sample of the incredible brunch menu Firebirds Executive Chef Steve is creating! 
 
Raffles, silent auction and Kids Zone with games, bouncy houses, face painting and more will be back!  Be warned, tickets for the brunch (just like race registration) will be more expensive the day of the event and you will need a brunch wristband to participate in filling your belly!  For those who do not want to run or walk in the event, you can just purchase brunch tickets as well.

Race participants will receive a t-shirt, official racing bib with microchip timing system, and our fun run participants will receive a kids ISF cinch bag.  Prizes will be given to the winners for specific age categories.
