PNW Pink Ribbon Run/Walk

The PNW Pink Ribbon Run/Walk brings participants together in Spokane, Washington, on October 3, 2027. Two formats start together at 9 a.m.: a 5K and a 1-mile (1.6 km) course, each open to runners and walkers. The event unites people affected by cancer, patients, survivors and loved ones, and raises money for practical help during treatment and recovery: meals, comfort bags and housekeeping services.

With both distances starting at the same time, a group can stay together until the start and then choose their own effort. The mile suits anyone returning to exercise or accompanying someone, while the 5K is within reach of a regular runner without a specific plan. In early October, mornings in Spokane are cool, so a layer to shed during the warm-up and something warm for after the finish are worth bringing.
