Event Overview
The Run for Breast Cancer in Tampa is a community-focused running event held at Al Lopez Park. This event serves as a platform to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer support. Organized by TheBestRaces, the run is designed as a small, private group event with a participant cap for each wave. It offers an environment where the focus is on personal achievement and community support rather than competitive pressure.
The event is open to participants of all ages and paces. Individuals under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. Runners and walkers are both welcome to participate in the various distance options provided.
Available distances include:
- 5K
- 10K
- 13.1 Half-Marathon
- Family 1 Mile Fun Run
Logistics and Timing
This event does not use timing chips. Professional coordinators are available on-site to assist participants with manual tracking if they choose to record their finish times. Alternatively, runners may use third-party mobile applications to track their progress and submit results through an online form to receive a certificate of completion.
Packet pickup is handled through a direct shipping model. Swag, including an event t-shirt and a digital training pack, is mailed to the participant's registered US address prior to the event date. Race bibs are distributed at the park on the morning of the run. Participants who register within two weeks of the race date may receive their shirts via mail after the event has concluded.
A virtual run option is also available for those who prefer to complete their chosen distance at a different location or time while still receiving event memorabilia. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
