About the Let's Make Pink Just a Color
This race is a memorial run honoring its founder, who started it after her own breast cancer diagnosis and passed away before this edition. The course is untimed, and the field draws people who are connected to the cause, whether they are runners or walkers, going through treatment or cheering someone who is. The mood is personal rather than competitive.
Parking is spread across several nearby lots, including a research facility, a learning center, a family practice office, and a therapy clinic, all clustered along the same stretch of road. Spots fill up, so carpooling is encouraged. The start time is mid-afternoon, which gives you the morning to get organized.
