This impactful event offers a 5K run/walk, a 1-mile walk, and a Kids Dash, making it a perfect outing for individuals and families alike to support a vital community health initiative. The race proudly kicks off and concludes at the Old National Bank, where participants gather to raise crucial awareness for colon cancer prevention and early detection.
The Colon Screening for LIFE 5K is more than just a race; it's a powerful statement in the fight against colon cancer, which remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Since its inception in April 2007, and later incorporating as a 501c(3) non-profit in 2010, the organization has dedicated itself to educating the Tri-state area on the importance of regular screenings, such as colonoscopies, to save lives. Runners will experience a course through downtown Evansville, and while specific elevation details are not provided, a downtown route typically offers a relatively flat and engaging urban landscape.
Join hundreds of enthusiastic participants in what has become one of Evansville's largest 5K run/walk events. Typical race day conditions in early June include comfortable morning temperatures with highs around 85°F and lows around 64°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, providing a generally pleasant environment for running and walking. Your participation directly contributes to a mission that saves thousands of lives through education and awareness, making this race a uniquely rewarding experience.
