NewYork-Presbyterian (NYP) is proud to partner with the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) in support of the 2026 New Jersey Miles for Melanoma 5K Walk.

The Miles for Melanoma program is a nationwide series of 5K run/walk events that brings together melanoma patients, survivors, caregivers, families, and supporters to raise awareness and funds for melanoma research. These inspiring community events help advance critical research while providing hope, connection, and support for those impacted by melanoma.

At NYP, we are committed to increasing awareness of melanoma and the importance of early detection, while providing patients and families with access to leading treatment, survivorship, and support resources. We invite you to join us at the New Jersey Miles for Melanoma 5K and stop by the NYP education booth to learn how NewYork-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medicine, and Columbia University Irving Medical Center are advancing melanoma care and improving outcomes for patients across our communities.
