The Present Pace Walk #006: The Pink Pace

Be present in pink! In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re dedicating this walk to celebrating women’s health, honoring those affected by breast cancer, and encouraging one another to prioritize our well-being.

Whether breast cancer has touched your life personally, impacted someone you love, or you’re simply joining us to support the women in our community, you’re welcome here. This isn’t a fundraiser event - this is a chance to come together, move our bodies, enjoy meaningful conversations and remind one another that our health matters.

We invite everyone to wear their favorite shade of pink as we fill the trail with encouragement, hope, and community.

As we walk together, we’ll reflect on one simple question:

“How has your body carried you through this year even on the days you didn't show up for it?”

Health is so much more than appearance. It’s making time for preventative care, listening to our bodies, nourishing ourselves, managing stress, building meaningful relationships, and advocating for our own well-being.

Together we’ll spend the morning walking, connecting, and celebrating the strength of women, one step at a time.

These walks are not about speed, distance, or fitness level. They're about showing up for yourself, one step at a time.

Parking: you can park in the Target Parking lot as the entrance to the trail is right next to the Target - to the left of the building
