The 13th annual Boxer Brief 5K Run/Walk brings together colorectal cancer survivors, patients, family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues to energize efforts to prevent and defeat our country's number one cancer killer in men under age 50 and the nations second cancer killer in men and women combined.
Colorectal cancer is a preventable and beatable. The proceeds support the work of Hitting Cancer Below the Belt to continue their screening and educational services.
Join us at City Stadium, Home of the Richmond Kickers, or in your own neighborhood!
There is a GLOBAL virtual challenge option for those living outside of Richmond, Virginia or for those interested in an entire weekend challenge. The goal of the virtual option is to accumulate miles as participants participate in various activities. The miles accumulated can be achieved through the following activities: Walk, Run, Ride, Swim, Paddle, or Dink! Yep! Collect those miles as you participate in multiple activities throughout the weekend of June 7th - June 8th! This is the perfect option for paddleball players, triathletes, the runner who also likes to hike, our swimmer friends, and for those rowing and paddling on the water. No need to record a time, we just need your miles and your awesome photos!
