Paint the Town Pink 5K Fun Walk Run
The Paint the Town Pink event is a community fundraiser held in Columbus, GA on October 23, 2026, with the course routed through Woodruff Park and the listed venue address at 1000 Bay Ave. The event offers a 5K option for runners and a 5K fun walk for walkers and teams.
Registration opens May 1 and registration that guarantees a t-shirt and correct size closes October 11; fees listed before that date are $40 for runners and $30 for walkers. Prices increase after October 11 and registering after that date does not guarantee a t-shirt. Packet pick-up is scheduled the day before the event at the Cunningham Center, and there is race day registration and late packet pick-up at Woodruff Park.
The West Central Georgia Cancer Coalition, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, presents this annual fundraiser to benefit the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Cancer Assistance Fund. That fund assists eligible local individuals and families who are receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation treatment. The organizer states that 100 percent of proceeds remain within the community. The program includes a survivor parade and a program with survivors and participants before the run, and runners are timed with awards including a winners medal for specific age groups.
