Run Against Breast Cancer SAN FRANCISCO
Come together to stand against breast cancer by participating in this empowering race event! Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a casual walker, you can choose between a 5K, 10K, or the 21K Half Marathon. After crossing the finish line, you’ll receive a special commemorative pin or ribbon as a symbol of your support in the fight against cancer.
A portion of the race proceeds, along with 100% of the funds raised, will go directly to the American Cancer Society, the nation’s oldest and largest cancer organization, to help continue their vital work.
