From the Organizer
Join us on Saturday, September 19, 2026, for the ManUp Prostate Cancer Awareness 5K Run/Walk. We are gathering not just to move our bodies, but to move the needle on a health crisis that hits our community harder than most.
The statistics are a call to action: Black and Hispanic men have a 70% higher chance of being diagnosed with prostate cancer compared to men of other races. This isn’t just a statistic—it represents our fathers, brothers, sons, and friends. We run to close this gap, to demand better health outcomes, and to ensure that every man has the information and support he needs for early detection and treatment.
By participating, you are helping to break the silence and the stigma. You are funding education, supporting families, and proving that when we "ManUp," we stand together for a healthier future. Whether you run at a competitive pace or walk with family and friends, your presence makes a difference. Let’s hit the pavement for those we’ve lost, those currently fighting, and the generations to come.
"The strength of a man is not seen in the width of his shoulders; it is seen in the width of the arms that he wraps around his community." — Inspirational Proverb
