Run The Town Pink 5K and 1 Mile Walk

Join Us for a 5K with a Colorful Twist! This local 5K may follow a familiar format—but with a vibrant splash of Pink! Runners are encouraged to wear as much pink as they’d like to show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness.

Please note, this is currently an unofficially timed event. While there will be clock at the start/finish line, runners are encouraged to keep their own time for more accurate finishing times. Runners who complete the race will receive a finishing medal but there will be no age group awards. 1 Mile Remembrance Walk The ceremony will feature a moving prayer led by our Chaplain, paying tribute to those who are fighting, have survived, or have lost their battle with cancer.
