PHOENIX – The Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) will host their eighth annual D-backs Race Against Cancer (#DbacksRace), presented by Dignity Health, on April 5 with proceeds benefitting the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation. The 5K/1 mile walk will wind through the streets of downtown Phoenix and participants will be able to end with a victory lap around the outfield wall at Chase Field. Registration is now open at dbacks.com/race.

The 5K will begin at 7:15 a.m. and the 1-Mile Family Fun Walk will start at 8:30 a.m. at Chase Field. Each participant will receive a commemorative D-backs racing shirt, unique finisher medal courtesy of Safelite AutoGlass, D-backs drawstring bag and a ticket to a 2020 D-backs home game. Registration is open now through April 4 and is $40 for the 5k and $20 for the 1-Mile. Registration for children 12 and under to participate in the 1-Mile Family Fun Walk is only $10. Fans can also create an online fundraiser to engage family and friends and win great D-backs prizes and experiences, including tickets and the opportunity to throw out a ceremonial first pitch.

The race was developed to become a voice for all D-backs fans that have been affected by cancer. Proceeds from the race will benefit the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation and will be distributed to Arizona non-profits that provide screening, treatment and support for those dealing with cancer. The event has raised more than $1.5 million since 2013. Race participants are encouraged to visit the health and wellness expo to learn more about cancer research, screening, treatment and support.
