Paint the Planet Pink, a 501c3 organization, was established in 2014 with a mission to “bring the community together to support a cure for ALL cancers through research and clinical trials.”

The start of the 5K will be on Linden Street between N. Washington and Adams (specifically at Backyard Ale House). Runners will proceed up Wyoming Avenue, turn onto Marion Street, run down N. Washington Avenue, and end back on Linden at Backyard. Walking participants are to turn up Pine St and proceed back on N. Washington and then Linden to finish line. Runners will utilize the street for 5K (advised to stay to the right side of the road) and walkers advised to use sidewalks.
