about
Legacy Race Battling Breast Cancer is dedicated to supporting individuals in the Pikes Peak region who are facing breast cancer or are at risk. Our mission is to raise funds that directly benefit local women, men, and their families, providing essential services, resources, and community support throughout their breast cancer journey.
​
Last year, thanks to our incredible supporters, we raised over $100,000, all of which was donated back into Southern Colorado to fund vital breast cancer programs, including survivor retreats, meal deliveries, post-operative garments, wig vouchers, community health education, and groundbreaking research.
​
We are honored to bring you the Second Annual Legacy Race Battling Breast Cancer 5K, hosted at the Norris Penrose Event Center and Bear Creek Park on October 4, 2026! Join us to walk or run individually or in teams, fundraise before and during the race, and celebrate after crossing the finish line with coffee, adult beverages, and delicious baked goods.
