About the Event

McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center's Step Up 4 Kids 5K & Kids Fun Run helps close out National Child Abuse Prevention month each April, taking place on the last Sunday of April each year. All funds raised through this event directly benefit local non-profit, McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center, who works hard to fight against child abuse in Onondaga County. The 9th annual Step Up 4 Kids will be on Sunday, April 26th at Middle Ages Brewery. Following the race, there will be an after party hosted with live music and food trucks. Join us for a morning of fun for the entire family! All participants get a bib tear-off coupon that gets them either a free beverage from Middle Ages Brewery or a free ice cream cone from Gannon's!

Walk or stomp out child abuse all month long by signing up for one of the April Challenges. Sign up to complete 50-100 mile challenges and log your miles on this website. Post about your challenge throughout the month of April and tag us on social media! Challenge participants get a specialty long sleeved hooded tee. 

Sign up for both the in person event & an April Challenge and receive $5 off your registration! 

*ATTENTION - TO ENSURE A SHIRT, PLEASE REGISTER BY APRIL 10TH * Any registrations after April 10th , we cannot guarantee a shirt.
