Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the U.S. and early detection is critical.

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.
