About the 2nd Annual Miles for Mammos 5K & 1-Mile Run/Walk
The course starts and finishes behind Dosher Memorial Hospital, the same place the race exists to support. The 5K heads out through the surrounding streets while the shorter walk turns around earlier, with water stops at both courses' turning points. It is a flat route through a quiet part of Southport, and the cause gives the morning a specific weight that a generic road race does not have.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local med spa, with a second window race morning near the start line behind the hospital. After the 5K, there are snacks and water at the finish, and awards follow not long after the last runners come in, with music playing through it all.
