Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K planned in Seymour

SEYMOUR - Seymour Pink, Inc., in conjunction with Seymour Tradition Softball Program, is hosting a 5K run/walk Oct. 6.

The Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K was named for Tara Miller’s creative entry to Seymour Pink’s ‘Name the Race’ contest this spring.

The 5K will begin at 9 a.m. on River Street and follow a course that brings participants by the Seymour Historical Society and Seymour Public Library, ending at the Seymour Community Center.

The race is timed and certified by Start-Line Race Services. 
The cost of the 5K is $25 for preregistration and $30 if you register on the day of the race.
All pre-registered participants will receive a Pounding the Pavement for Pink 5K T-shirt, goody bag, and light refreshments after the race.
The deadline for Mail-In registration is Sept. 28, but registration is also online at www.startlineraceservices.com.

Participants can register as a team and are encouraged to plan their outfits. There will be an award for best pink costume and special recognition for anything eye-catching during the event.

There will be a special survivors tent at the race, so please let Seymour Pink know if you or someone you know should be honored in the tent that morning.
This event directly precedes the Seymour Tradition "Smoke in the Valley Beer & Chili Fest" and also precedes the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event hosted by First Selectman Kurt Miller on Oct. 14.
