Pink Up The Pace 5K Fun Run
Since 1996, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama (BCRFA) has funded the most promising breast cancer research across the state at institutes like the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB, HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Huntsville, the Mitchell Cancer Institute in Mobile and others. All funds raised stay in Alabama, but the impact is worldwide. This weekend BCRFA will host the Pink Up The Pace 5K & Fun Run Sunday, Oct. 23 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Mountain Brook. Pink Up The Pace includes a 5K and 1-mile Dolly Dash fun run. Runners and walkers of all ages are welcome in both races. Stick around after the race for refreshments and field activities, including music, face painting, a petting zoo and inflatable obstacle course. Details and registration at bcrfa.org/events/putp.
