FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – As of Friday, October 3, this year’s Pink Army 5K and 1-Mile Pet Friendly Walks set for October 5 at the AdventHealth Palm Coast Main Campus on State Road 100 are still a go according to AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation Director John Subers.
Sharing his enthusiasm as the face of the AdventHealth Palm Coast’s Breast Cancer Awareness events in September and October, Subers appeared on WNZF’s Friday morning local talk show Free For All Friday with David Ayres and the Observer’s Brian McMillan to talk up this year’s event.
Registrations have broken records this year with more than 800 participants registered as of Friday morning. The event takes place in partnership with the City of Palm Coast, and the city’s staff have been working to distribute race t-shirts and bibs since Wednesday.
This year’s event features students from both high schools supporting breast cancer survivors and walkers along with the Survivor Strut serenaded by cheer squads as they head in to ring the bell, symbolizing the successful end of cancer treatment, and in this case, surviving the disease. Flagler County Commissioner Greg Hansen’s daughter Regan Hansen is this year’s Survivor Champion, and will be the first to ring the bell to kick off the events.
Details on registration can be found here. Registration is open through the day of the event, and those looking to pick up their packets early can with the following schedule below. All Funds raised stay in the Flagler County community and help support women and men with early detection screenings and diagnostic support.
