Skippin & Sippin Phun Walk: Lakes Area Parrot Heads
About this race
Proudly partnered with Skippin & Sippin, Inc. and Parrot Heads in Paradise, Inc., Lakes Area Parrot Heads will host the inaugural Skippin & Sippin PHun Walk on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at Hub 41 at 1:00 p.m. in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.
What began as the dream of one remarkable Mermaid Sister has grown into a meaningful tradition rooted in hope, phriendship, and giving back. This year marks an exciting milestone as Lakes Area Parrot Heads brings the first Skippin & Sippin PHun Walk outside of its beloved home in Gulf Shores to the Detroit Lakes community.
This ½-mile PHun Walk is about more than simply gathering together. It is about celebrating survivors, honoring those we have lost, supporting those still fighting, and bringing a community together to make a difference for those impacted by breast cancer.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Roger Maris Cancer Center, helping support mammography and early detection assistance for those in need in the region. Every registration, donation, and dollar raised helps turn PHun and phriendship into meaningful support close to home.
Register individually, gather your phriends and create a team, or join an existing team. Participants and teams are also encouraged to fundraise and help make an even greater impact!
Whether you're walking in honor of someone you love, celebrating survivorship, remembering a PHriend, or simply joining us because you believe in our mission, every Skip, Sip, and Step helps carry Susan's dream forward.
Join us this October and become part of a PHamily with a purpose.
