Choose your distance and get ready to start and finish your race in the Stadium at the annual YOLO Run, presented by the NEC Society and UC Davis Children's Hospital.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an intestinal disease that can affect medically fragile infants during their first weeks and months of life. UC Davis Children's Hospital provides lifesaving care for babies at risk of NEC, and the NEC Society is the world's leading nonprofit advancing research, education, and advocacy. Yolo County locals, Jennifer and Noah Canvasser, launched the NEC Society after tragically losing their son, Micah, to the disease. By teaming up with UC Davis Children's Hospital, the Canvasser family and NEC Society are building a world without NEC. Join us for the YOLO Run to support this work!
