The 7th Annual Cancer Schmancer 5K is set for 9 a.m. on Saturday, September 16, 2023. As usual, we’ll gather in Rollins Savanna in Grayslake for an out-and-back 3.1-mile course. While we get to planning the festivities, remember to break in that sensible footwear, get outside for some mild to moderate exercise that won’t mess up your hair, and perfect your high-five form!

If you’re raring to go, you can register at the link below. We can’t wait to do fitness and defeat stupid cancer together, even if it’s just an excuse to eat pizza and have a beer afterward!

Interested in sponsoring our event? We’ve got plenty of options for you to get involved in the friendship, support, and overall do-gooding of the MLF.


Don’t forget how you all kicked a metric ton of butt in 2022! After two years to rest and stretch our hamstrings, the MLFers came out IN FORCE in April for the 6th Annual Cancer Schmancer 5K.

Off the bat, we’d like to thank our sponsors who helped us raise the MOST MONEY EVER for our scholarship program to help those affected by cancer continue their journey in high school.
