“Seymour Pink” starts Saturday, Oct. 1 with the 5th Annual Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K.
The streets of Seymour will be full of excitement and hope as 2,400 participants from 15 states and over 100 Connecticut towns run and walk for hope.
“Seymour Pink” raises money to help people with breast cancer.
The morning will include a special run for kids 8 and under as well as a breakfast for the 128 survivors and patients that will be participating.
Town First Selectman Kurt Miller and 9 other male community leaders will push a pink car the entire length of the race.
According to Miller, “this small amount of pain is nothing in comparison to what the brave folks fighting breast cancer go through”.
Awards will be given out for Pinkest Outfit, Most Spirit, Most Monies Raised — to name a few.
But Breast Cancer Awareness month continues all month long.
