About this event
The Barney Davis 5K Run/Walk was created to honor the life and legacy of Coach Barney Davis, founder and CEO of MIKA Sports Association Inc., who passed away in 2023 after a courageous battle with Lymphoma, a cancer that affects the body’s lymphatic system—a vital part of the immune system. Together, we move in honor of those we've lost and in support of those still fighting this, and another cancer affecting our players and women around the world…
Breast Cancer
This event also carries added urgency and significance, as several beloved MIKA alumni have recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, a disease that impacts 1 in 8 women in their lifetime and remains one of the most common cancers worldwide. These personal connections have moved us to take action—not only to remember Coach Davis—but to stand in solidarity with those still fighting and to emphasize the importance of early detection, prevention, and health equity.
Our goal is to raise awareness, encourage preventive healthcare, and connect our community to life-saving resources. A portion of all proceeds will go directly to support Lymphoma and Breast Cancer research, with the hope that our efforts today will help save lives tomorrow.
Join us as we walk, run, and rally together in honor, in hope, and in health.
