About the 18th Annual Celebrate Pink 5K Run & Walk
The race starts at Portsmouth Middle School and winds through the seacoast area of downtown Portsmouth. The course is tied to a breast cancer support cause, and that purpose shows in the crowd, which tends to draw people running or walking in honor of someone specific. The atmosphere is shaped by that shared reason for being there.
Registration opens early on race morning at the middle school, with an option to pick up bibs and other items the day before. A virtual option is also available for those who cannot make it in person. Teams are welcome, and you can create or join one during registration or through your profile afterward.
