From the Organizer
9:00 AM. We're doing it again! This year is Bigger and Better!
The beloved 5K returns in 2026! This year's event is hosted by Pikeville Medical Center and the Pike County Health Department. This cherished community event is back, and there's a distance for everyone.
Choose the 5K Run/Walk or the 1-Mile Walk, whether you're chasing a personal best or strolling alongside family.
It is more than a race; it's a celebration of courage. Participants are encouraged to wear the color(s) representing the type of cancer that has touched their lives, uniting our whole community in the fight against cancer. At the start/finish line, you'll find a variety of activities to learn more about cancer resources, honor survivors and remember those who lost their valiant battle. There will be fun games and activities for the whole family, plus fun and fellowship at the finish.
This year's race swag is better than ever: every registered 5K and 1-Mile participant receives a t-shirt AND a medal. Yes, the 1-Mile Walk gets a medal this year! And because 100% of proceeds go directly to support cancer awareness and cancer patients at Lawson Cancer Center at Pikeville Medical Center, every step you take helps a neighbor who is battling this disease.
Be sure to join us for a morning of fun, family and celebration at the finish line!
