Get ready to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the return of the Paper Doll Parade Walk and 5K sponsored by Atrium Health Floyd. The Paper Doll Parade and Breast Cancer Awareness 5K is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 28, at Ridge Ferry Park in Rome. The 5K is set to start at approximately 9:15 a.m. with the walk following 15 minutes later.
Organized by Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation, the event includes a 2-mile Paper Doll Parade health walk, so participants can walk, run or just have fun.
The event will also include a costume contest prior to the run and walk at 9:00 a.m., and at the conclusion of the run and walk breast cancer survivors will be recognized.
Registration for the 5K is $26 and the walk is $21. Runners and walkers can find links to register at https://runsignup.com/Race/GA/Rome/PaperDollParade5K
Participants are encouraged to:
· Form teams for a good cause.
· Come up with a fun name.
· Design your own Paper Doll costume to wear or deck out in pink from head to toe.
