Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the U.S. and early detection is critical. During breast cancer awareness month, we urge women age 40 or over and of average risk (age 30 if at higher risk) to schedule mammograms and clinical breast exams, as well as perform breast self-exams regularly.

Please make plans to join us and wear your most creative Halloween running costume! While you enjoy a wonderful, fast, flat (and new!) race route in Cartersville / Bartow County's Own Hamilton Crossing Park!  So make plans today to race, run, or walk with us to Celebrate breast cancer survivors and support those who are currently fighting!  Net proceeds will benefit breast cancer patients at Piedmont Oncology – Cartersville.
