T-Shirt Pick Up & Race Schedule

I will pick up t-shirts for the entire team on May 28th. You may either come to my home on May 29th between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. OR I will have your t-shirt ready for you on race day.


I will be there bright and early waiting for our team. I plan to hold up a sign with our team name “Paint the Town Pink” so that everyone can gather in one spot. For those of you that have registered for the race, I will send an email including the following:

    • My cell phone number in case you need to reach me
    • My address in case you want to pick your t-shirt before race day

Women's and Men's 5K Walk - 8:45 a.m.

Immediately following the 5K Run, we will also offer a 5K Walk. Perfect for our noncompetitive joggers and/or walkers who wish to obtain their own race time from the Race clock which runs continuously throughout the event. No awards are given for this event.


1 Mile Fun Course - 9:00 a.m.

Participants with baby strollers/joggers may prefer the 1 Mile Fun Course rather than our longer 5K walk. There will be a Race clock running throughout the event but no awards are given.

Can?t make it to this year's Race? Work nights? Or just want to sleep in on Saturday morning? You can still participate by signing up for "Sleep In for the Cure®" and receive your t-shirt by mail after the Race.
