BEACH ROSES WALK
About this race
This inaugural Beach Roses Walk is a powerful call to action in the fight against breast cancer. This event brings together people of all ages to honor breast cancer survivors and those we've lost to the disease. Participants will raise vital funds for groundbreaking research aimed at ending breast cancer, as well as for initiatives that support and enhance the lives of survivors. Set against the backdrop of Hammonasset's blooming beach roses, the walk symbolizes strength, perseverance, and hope.
