About the event
For the second year, the Flamingo Trot 5K trail run and 1 mile fun run will be held in the beautiful Lake Claiborne State Park on Saturday, December 2, 2017. If you cannot attend, don't worry there is a Virtual option available! Flamingo Trot is a USATF sanctioned race event for which all the proceeds will be donated in support of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (“LLS”).
The LLS mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma and to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Last year, LLS awarded $76 million in grant funding to over 400 research programs. LLS-funded research has advanced treatments such as chemotherapy, stem cell transplantation, and lifesaving “smart” drugs which have become standard therapies for many other cancers.
