We all have connections to someone who is currently fighting or has fought a battle against cancer. Did you know that breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women (less than 1% of cancer diagnoses are in males), and every 14 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman is diagnosed with it?   

Building on the previous year's popularity and success, Campus and Community is bringing you the second edition of this exciting Run for a Cure to raise and support breast cancer awareness.    

Date: October 26 

Time: 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. 

Categories: 3K Walk, 5K and 10K Run 

Location: Harbor Sports Club 

Early bird registration starts on September 9 with a 25% discount.  

Learn more about the event on the Run for a Cure webpage.
