Event overview
Miles For MBC & Kelly Marie is the sixth annual Howard Beach #LightUpMBC Color Walk held on October 17, 2026 at Frank M. Charles Memorial Park Baseball Field in Howard Beach, Queens, NY. Participants meet near 98 St. and 165 Ave. The event supports metastatic breast cancer research through METAvivor.
The main activity is a 3 mile color run/walk that begins with a color powder toss. Volunteers operate three color stations where participants are sprayed with colored powder during the route. Raffle items are part of the event and winners are announced after the walk.
The event is structured around fundraising and community involvement. Net proceeds are directed to MBC research through METAvivor. The organizer offers registration options for individuals and teams, online fundraising pages, donation opportunities, and sponsorship opportunities. The event information page also includes a color powder FAQ and volunteer information.
Organizers share factual information about metastatic breast cancer, noting recurrence risk, variable timing of metastases, global mortality figures, and current survival statistics; they state there is no cure for MBC. The event materials also present personal stories from local families affected by metastatic breast cancer to illustrate the event's focus on research funding and community support.
