Scheduled for Aug. 22
PIKEVILLE, Ky. (July 31, 2015) — Pikeville Medical Center is hosting its second annual Colors of Courage 5K Run/Walk on Aug. 22 in downtown Pikeville. Proceeds will benefit underinsured patients of the Pikeville Medical Leonard Lawson Cancer Center.
“The cancer center staff and Colors of Courage Committee are very excited about this year’s 5K,” said Whitney Hogg, assistant director of public relations. “There are patients in critical need of assistance and the funds from this race will allow those patients to continue treatment here at home.”
To show support of those fighting cancer or to remember those lost, event participants are encouraged to dress in the color of cancer they represent. Although the color for each person may be different, the Colors of Courage 5K Run/Walk will unite everyone.
To honor those who have been lost to cancer, a balloon release will be held after the run/walk. Cancer survivors will also be recognized.

Registration will also be held the day of the race at 7:30 a.m. at the East Kentucky Expo Center Plaza on Main Street. The run/walk will begin at 9 a.m. The top three overall male and female finishers will be awarded. The top three male and female finishers in each age division will also receive an award. In addition, awards will be given for most colorful and most creative attire.
