8k Run / Walk

Why an 8k?

We chose 8k for our race distance as a tribute to the many women who have or will develop Breast Cancer.  Sadly, statistics show that 1 out of every 8 women will develop invasive Breast Cancer at some time in their lives.  1 out of every 8 women is too many – by running or walking in the 1 in 8k Moore for the Cure, you can help change the statistics and change lives in the process!

Timing

Timing for the 1 in 8k Moore for the Cure will be B-Tag timing (timing on the bib).  It doesn’t matter if you start at the back of the pack or get squished at the start. The chip will start your official time when you cross the computer pads at the starting line, and stop when you cross the finish line – all results will be posted online.
