Run Against Breast Cancer 5K/10K/13.1 ATLANTA

Join the fight against breast cancer by participating in the Run Against Breast Cancer event, featuring 5K, 10K, and 21K Half Marathon options. This race is not just about fitness but also about standing together to make a difference. After completing your run, you’ll receive a commemorative pin or ribbon as a keepsake of your participation. A portion of the proceeds, along with 100% of the funds raised, will go directly to the American Cancer Society, supporting their mission as the oldest and largest cancer-fighting organization in the U.S.

Event Details: The race is expected to sell out quickly, and wave registration will close as soon as each wave fills up. However, if spots are unavailable, you can still opt for the virtual run or sign up for the waitlist. This is a small, intimate event with limited participants per wave, welcoming all paces and ages. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. Whether you’re running or walking, this event encourages everyone to join, and there’s no need for special equipment or setup—just show up and enjoy the run with the support of event coordinators.

Timing: Timing is optional for this run. Participants can choose to track their own times using apps like Strava, RunKeeper, or Nike Run, and submit results online. For those who prefer assistance, coordinators are available to help track times. There will be no timing chips, as the focus is on a stress-free, supportive experience.
