The 13th Annual Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5k will be held Saturday, October 5, 2024 at 9 AM in Seymour. Registration for this year’s event will open July 1st at 9 AM EST online on RunSignUp.

We offer a 5k (3.1 mile) Road Race through Seymour and a Kids Fun Run (approximate half mile) course. If you can’t make it to Seymour on October 5th you can still participate! Join us through our Virtual 5k or Kids Run and be with us in spirit. For the best savings register early! Early Bird Registration is open for two weeks July 1st through July 14th and we’ve kept this registration fee the same since before the pandemic – take that inflation! This year all who register before Labor Day will earn a race t-shirt, however in an effort to be more sustainable you’ll also have the option to decline a shirt for this year if...
