RACE FEATURES:
This year’s event will feature Chief Mark Furnish, retired Chief of the Monroe Township Volunteer Fire Department, as keynote speaker. Inspired by fellow firefighter Bruce DeArk’s commitment to raising awareness about colorectal cancer, Mark underwent his first colonoscopy in 2022 and was diagnosed with colon cancer. After a 44-year career in the fire service, Mark retired in 2025 and is now cancer-free. He uses his story to encourage others to get screened and take action before cancer becomes a crisis.
