INTRODUCING THE LEISURE OPTION FOR THE COLORS OF CANCER 5K!

We understand that not everyone wants to race against the clocksome of you just want to soak in the atmosphere, enjoy the beautiful route, and support a great cause in a more relaxed way. Thats why were excited to introduce the **Leisure Option** for this years Colors of Cancer 5K!

**What is the Leisure Option?**
- **No Pressure:** This option is perfect for those who want to walk, jog, or simply enjoy the event at their own pace without worrying about time or competition.
- **Flexible Distance:** Feel free to complete as much or as little of the course as you like. Whether you do the whole 5K or just a portion, your participation is what matters most!
