Nor-Cal Breast Cancer Connection Annual 5K Walk/Run
The Nor-Cal Breast Cancer Connection holds its 7th Annual 5K Walk/Run on October 3, 2026 at the Turtle Bay Exploration Park Arboretum. The event combines a timed walk and run format with community activities including a raffle drawing held during the race and an award ceremony for age-group winners and overall male and female winners.
Proceeds support the Breast Cancer Detection Fund. Funds from the event help provide breast cancer screening and other diagnostic services for people who do not have adequate insurance coverage.
Entry fees are listed by category: adults $25, youth 18 and under $15, and children 5 and under free. Packet pickup is planned for the Friday before the event at a location to be determined; merchandise will be available for early purchase and packets will also be available at the event.
Event sponsors include Win-River Resort & Casino and Redding Rancheria. Support options for the event include participation in the race, volunteering on race day, and several sponsorship levels ranging from $350 up to $6,000. The Title Sponsor level has a July 1 deadline and the overall sponsorship deadline is August 22, 2026.
The organizing group describes its broader work as providing education, outreach, and direct support through the Breast Cancer Detection Fund. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
