Strides welcomes walkers and runners of all ages.
The one prerequisite of all participants is a passion to see breast cancer wiped out as a major health threat in our society. Against Breast Cancer raises millions of dollars per year to fight this disease. Participants collect donations and pledges before the event and turn them in on the day of the event. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events are generally held in large metropolitan cities with major media and print outlets during the month of October, National Breast Cancer Awareness month. These events are typically the largest single events held in these markets with anywhere from 2,000 to over 35,000 registered participants.
