About the race

Miles For MBC & Kelly Marie is a community color run and walk held on October 17, 2026 at Frank M. Charles Memorial Park Baseball Field in Howard Beach, Queens, NY. The meeting point is listed as 98 St. and 165 Ave.

The program centers on a 3-mile color run/walk that begins with a color powder toss and includes three color stations where volunteers will apply color to participants. The event includes raffle items, with winners announced after the walk. It also shares stories of local families affected by metastatic breast cancer.

The stated purpose is fundraising for metastatic breast cancer research. The organizers indicate that 100% of net proceeds will fund research through METAvivor Research & Support, Inc. The event materials include published MBC facts such as recurrence risk, the potential timing of metastases, annual global mortality figures for metastatic breast cancer, and survival statistics; the materials also state that there is no cure for metastatic breast cancer.

Participation and fundraising options are described as multiple formats: individual participation, forming or joining teams, creating personal fundraising pages, making donations, and sponsorship opportunities. Event logistics note a check-in period and a race kickoff, and raffle prize distribution occurs after the walk. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
