Race Overview
The Run to Breast Cancer is a community-focused running event held at Wiggins Waterfront Park in Camden, New Jersey. This event is designed as a small, private group run with a cap on the number of participants per wave to maintain a personal atmosphere. The gathering aims to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer support through various running and walking distances.
The event is open to all ages and paces, though participants under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. It is structured as a pure run without complex equipment or professional setup, supported by on-site coordinators.
Distances
Participants can choose from several distance options:
- 1 Mile Fun Run
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 13.1 miles (Half-Marathon)
- Virtual Run option
Logistics and Timing
Conventional timing chips are not used for this event to maintain a stress-free environment. Timing is optional; participants may track their own progress using mobile apps and submit results online to receive a certificate of completion, or ask coordinators for assistance with timekeeping.
There is no physical packet pickup required at the venue. Instead, running shirts are shipped directly to the participant's registered US address. Race bibs are provided on the day of the event. Registration includes a swag bag featuring a running t-shirt, a finisher's medal, a finisher's towel or giveaway, and a digital training pack.
Virtual Participation
For those unable to attend in person, a virtual run option is available. This allows runners to complete their distance at any time and location of their choosing. Virtual participants receive a training pack with digital tools and can submit their results to receive a finisher's medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
