The Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) is thrilled to announce that Jeff Zevely will be returning to emcee the annual Miles for Melanoma San Diego 5K event on Sunday, October 20, 2024 at De Anza Cove Park. Jeff will welcome guests to the opening ceremonies beginning at 8:30AM PT and kick off the 5K which starts at 9AM PT. The 5K walk/race will bring together the San Diego-area melanoma community with a goal of raising $90,000 in support of critical melanoma research.

We are excited to share that local sponsor, Alastin Skincare, will be hosting on-site and complimentary skin screenings on event day!

In addition to raising essential funds to support melanoma research, this event helps elevate public awareness around early detection and prevention of cutaneous melanoma and educate about rare melanoma subtypes. The Miles for Melanoma program also highlights the importance of sun safety and scheduling annual dermatological skin checks.

The MRF team is thrilled to welcome a wide range of local presenting and national sponsors to the San Diego event this October. Our Local Sponsors include Alastin Skincare, Bristol Myers Squibb, Castle Biosciences, Novartis and SkylineDx. Our 2024 National Sponsor and Prevention Partner is Neutrogena.
