From the Organizer
In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Kentucky State University and Crystal Blossom Inc are proud to present the 7th Annual Crystal Blossom Breast Cancer Awareness 3K Walk/Run at KSU. This annual event honors the memory of Crystal Jones Woodard, a KSU alumni and beloved daughter, sister, and wife. We hope you can join us at the event to celebrate Crystal and to support those currently battling breast cancer.
The race course for 2026 will be 8 laps around the Kentucky State University Track for a total of 3200 meters which is just under 2 miles.
Back again for 2026!
