From the Organizer
Get ready for an unforgettable morning of fun, fitness, and community spirit at the Bra-ha-ha 5K on Saturday, September 12, 2026! Lace up your running shoes, grab your water bottle, and join us for a lively event filled with excitement, camaraderie, and purpose. This year’s race will also feature a variety of vendors and a Kids Zone to keep families and supporters engaged throughout the morning.
The Bra-ha-ha 5K is more than a race—it’s a meaningful tradition. Every step you take helps provide free mammograms and vital breast health services for members of our community who are uninsured or underinsured. By participating, you help ensure that lifesaving care is accessible to those who need it most.
As a token of our appreciation, every participant will receive a commemorative 5K medal and an event t-shirt. Be sure to register by August 14, 2026, to guarantee both your shirt and medal.
We look forward to seeing you at the starting line for a morning of inspiration, connection, and giving back!
