“The Mission 500 Security 5K/2K run/walk is fast becoming a classic at ISC West and we’re hoping to break the 1,000 entry mark this year,” said George Fletcher, Advisory Council Member/Volunteer, Mission 500. “It is an especially meaningful race because it gives participants an opportunity to raise money for a great cause while challenging themselves.”

Participants who succeed in raising $500 or more for children in crisis in the U.S will automatically be enrolled in the 500 Club. As added incentives, 2016 500 Club members will receive a 20oz.

The Security 5K Reception and Awards Ceremony will take place in the afternoon on April 7th on the SSN Media stage, located on the second floor of the Sands Convention Center. In addition to recognising top fundraisers, the awards ceremony will highlight Mission 500's achievements and set the stage for even bigger things to come.
