Join us for our annual 5k Road Race through the streets of Seymour, Connecticut as we Pound the Pavement to fight breast cancer.
In 2012, Seymour Tradition, a nonprofit organization in our town whose focus is on teaching young girls the values of sportsmanship, teamwork and discipline, asked Seymour Pink, Inc. if we would co-host a 5K race. Seymour Pink was so excited about the offer to partner up with this fine organization. We held a naming contest in town and the 5K race Pounding the Pavement for Pink was born! In our first year, both of these non-profit organizations realized a total of $24,000. These monies have helped both Seymour Pink and Seymour Tradition advance our missions.
In all the years we have co-hosted the Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5k, thanks to the community’s support of this event, Seymour Pink has raised over $1.2 MILLION from this event alone for breast cancer research!! We hope you each know the impact your support and donations will have on the men and women and their families victimized by this diagnosis ~ YOUR IMPACT is HUGE! THANK YOU!!!
We take the streets, lined with pink lines, spectators and decorations the first Saturday in October each year. Runners and walkers welcome.
NO PETS ALLOWED. Strollers are only allowed as walking participants and must start in the back. No jogging with strollers is allowed in this race due to congestion along the start of the course.
For all in-person attendees, spectators, and sponsors we ask that you abide by any local, state, or federal guidelines, ordinances and legislation as they may arise.
In 2020 we introduced virtual racing to the Seymour Pink community and had over 1,600 participants across 30 states that year. After seeing pink across the country, we decided to continue offering this virtual option so that our supporters can partake no matter where they are.
If you'd like to participate virtually with us you can walk or run your miles anytime and anywhere during the 3-day virtual period of the first Friday in October through Sunday evening.
We offer a ~ half mile Kids Run to kick off our race morning events! Children ages 8 and under can partake in this fun run in Seymour on the first Saturday in October or virtually from anywhere!
Please read the race options carefully to ensure you register for the option you'd prefer!
We encourage friends, family, and businesses to form a team. We have over 100 teams participating each year, together in spirit and united in the FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER! Of course we encourage individual participation as well.
