Polly’s Run, a non-profit road race, is an annual 5K Run/Walk and Kids’ K road race honoring Polly Rogers and all the loved ones we have lost to pancreatic cancer. The 5K will take place at 8:30am and the Kids K at 9:30am on May 31, 2025. The 5K race begins on 18th Street outside of Explora, and the Kids K starts at 18th Street and Mountain. The purpose of the race is to raise awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer research. The proceeds from this event will support pancreatic research by donating 100% of the profits to the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center. The UNMCCC has created an endowment for Polly’s Run that the profits from every year will be contributed and continue to grow. The endowment will create an everlasting funding stream for pancreatic cancer research in New Mexico. The families and volunteers for this race would like to encourage you to support Polly’s Run through a donation, large or small.
