34 Years and Still Running!

Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 4, 2025, and join us at Reynolds Lodge at Lake Shawnee for a meaningful and energizing event! Our 5K Run/Walk, held annually on the first Saturday of October, raises vital funds to support the Race Against Breast Cancer and our no-cost mammography program.  Our 5K run starts promptly at 9:00 am.

100% of the proceeds remain in Northeast Kansas, helping us provide breast health education and free screening and diagnostic mammography services to individuals facing medical and financial challenges. Thanks to your support, we serve 400–500 community members yearly.

Help us make a difference—one step at a time.

Your participation in our event impacts NE Kansans lives in a positive way!  Participate by registering as a runner or walker.   Registrants will receive a 2025 5K event shirt and those who register by September 13th will be guaranteed their desired size of shirt.  Breast cancer survivors/patients who register will receive a gift from the Race Against Breast Cancer – a crew neck sweatshirt.

5K Event Shirt

This year’s event shirt is a white short-sleeved Gildan Softstyle.  Youth sizes through adult XL receive the shirt free with a paid runner or walker registration.
