About the Power Of Pink
The course starts at Wheaton City Park, just off the main street through town. The route goes through the surrounding streets, and the whole area gets decorated in pink for the morning. The race is tied to a breast cancer fundraiser, and the money raised goes directly to local women currently in treatment, which gives the finish line a different weight than most small-town races.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Power Of Pink has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
