Our 2nd Annual Hope for Tomorrow 5K will take place Friday, June 5, 2026 at Como Lake Park in Lancaster, NY. Hope for Tomorrow will be raising funds and awareness for all Western New Yorkers who have been impacted by breast cancer. In Erie County, almost 900 women are diagnosed every year and the Breast Cancer Network of WNY delivers support to help them every step of the way PLUS we have programs to promote early detection and to help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Join us by running, walking, sponsoring, or volunteering. Help for Today with Hope for Tomorrow is not just our tagline but it's what this race will allow us to do.

Como Lake Park is a certified 5K course and the race will be timed by Western New York Finish Line Timing Services. For those interested in a family friendly walk there will be a 1 mile course for that.

After party includes food, food trucks, beer, awards, speeches, DJ, and fun. Be sure to visit the Hope for Tomorrow Survivors Pavilion where local cancer organizations and vendors will have displays, giveaways, and items for sale.

This is a great opportunity to honor someone with a breast cancer diagnosis or to honor the memory of a loved one lost.
