Run for RMC

Join us on Sunday, June 7, 2026, for the Run for RMC 5K & 1-Mile Run/Walk at Stanley Park in Westfield, Massachusetts — a meaningful community event held in memory of Antonio Angel Ortiz and in support of renal medullary carcinoma awareness. 🎉 Event Experience Participants and attendees can enjoy: Professional Chip-Timed 5K race by: Fast Track Timing, LLCFood trucksMusicFace paintingA welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere Whether you're running, walking, or supporting, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. 🧡 Why We Run This event honors the life and legacy of Antonio “Tactical Tone” Ortiz while raising awareness of renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) — a rare and aggressive form of kidney cancer that primarily affects young individuals. At just 24 years old, Antonio was strong, active, and full of life. He loved cooking, the outdoors, and always showed up for others. After losing him to RMC, we made a commitment to ensure his legacy continues to create impact. Through this event, we hope to bring people together in support, remembrance, awareness, and action. Proceeds from this event will directly support the Tactical Tone Memorial Foundation’s mission — raising awareness of renal medullary carcinoma, supporting individuals and families impacted by RMC, and helping fund future programs, outreach, and research efforts in Antonio’s memory. Our Motto - 🧡 No One Gets Left Behind 🌳 The Course Run for RMC is designed to welcome runners, walkers, families, and community members of all ages and abilities. Participants will be able to choose between two course options: 5K Trail Run/Walk - A scenic route through the beautiful trails of Stanley Park, designed for runners and walkers who want to experience the park's natural terrain. 1-Mile Accessible Run/Walk - A shorter, accessible option welcoming families with strollers, young children, and participants who prefer a shorter distance. ⏱ Race Day Information Date: Sunday, June 7, 2026Location: Stanley Park, Westfield, MA **This event is rain or shine.** Race Day Schedule: Check-in & bib pickup: 8:30 AM – 9:45 AMOpening announcements: 9:45 AMNational Anthem: 9:50 AM5K Competitive Race (Chip-Timed): 10:00 AM5K Fun Run/Walk: 10:05 AM1-Mile Accessible Walk (includes Kids Fun Run): 10:15 AM 📦 Early Bib Pickup Early check-in and bib pickup will be available the day before the race: Date: Saturday, June 6, 2026Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PMLocation: TBD 💰 Registration Pricing 5K Competitive Run/Walk (Chip-Timed): $35 - through May 4 (Early Bird)$40 - May 5 → Race Day 5K Family Fun Run/Walk (Not Timed): $30 - through May 4 (Early Bird)$35 - May 5 → Race Day 1-Mile Family Accessible Run/Walk: $20 - through May 4 (Early Bird)$25 - May 5 → Race Day Kids Fun Run (Ages 5 & under) - FREE For children ages 5 and under participating in the 1-Mile course alongside family and other participants.
