Miles for Mammos 5K Run/Walk

About the Event

Join us in supporting Julie’s Pink Warrior Project at the JOSC race series bonus race, the Miles for Mammos 5k on Saturday, October 17, 2026!

Julie's Pink Warrior Project provides free screening mammograms to the uninsured and underinsured in our community. Money raised from this race go directly to funding those free mammograms.

This flat, fast race kicks off at 9am after an energizing warmup. This course is perfect for walkers and runners of all ages and abilities and is stroller friendly! Around the halfway point is a water station to hydrate you as you make your way to the finish line. Coming up the final stretch you will be greeted by cheers from spectators and fellow runners. You’ll receive a finishers medal after crossing the finish line and be able to refuel with the delicious post-race snacks!

Don’t forget to take a celebratory photo and tag us in it!
