Join us in the fight against breast cancer!
The 20TH ANNIVERSARY RACE IS SET FOR OCTOBER 21
Registration is now open for Huntsville Hospital Foundation’s 20th Annual Liz Hurley Ribbon Run. The milestone celebration will feature the annual 5K race and Survivors’ Walk on Saturday, October 21, through downtown Huntsville.
For 20 years, Ribbon Run has provided North Alabama women with cutting-edge technology and equipment to screen and diagnose breast cancer early. Ribbon Run also invests in patient lives by providing Surviving and Thriving classes, so survivors have access to essential information and a powerful network of fellow survivors.
Proceeds from the 2023 Liz Hurley Ribbon Run will provide for the top-priority needs of Huntsville Hospital Breast Center, including an additional ultrasound machine and table with a specialty mattress. This new, high-tech equipment will reduce wait times so patients have access to the diagnostic screenings they need, detecting breast cancers earlier and more accurately.
The 2023 Ribbon Run will kick off with the Survivors’ Walk at 8 a.m., giving race participants the opportunity to honor and cheer on participating breast cancer survivors. The 5K race will then begin at 8:30 a.m., with runner awards at 10 a.m.
For more information or to register, please visit lizhurleyribbonrun.org.
Runners should register prior to Friday, Aug. 25, in order to secure the discounted $25 early-bird rate and receive a pink race T-shirt.
The Foundation thanks 2023 Premier Sponsor CFD Research for its generous contributions to this event and cause.
