    The Miles of Legacy 5K is a meaningful community run founded by sisters on a mission and the Bernice H Price Foundation, Inc.—created in honor of their mother and in remembrance of all loved ones lost to cancer. What began from loss has grown into a movement of hope, healing, and support.

    This family-friendly 5K welcomes runners, walkers, children, and supporters of all ages. We invite families to come together, bring photos or memories of loved ones, and turn the day into a celebration of life, strength, and legacy.

    While we proudly honor those impacted by breast cancer, this race recognizes all cancers. Participants are encouraged—but not required—to wear the color representing the cancer they are supporting as a visible symbol of love and remembrance.

    All proceeds from the Miles of Legacy 5K will benefit students who have lost a parent or loved one to cancer, helping them continue their education while honoring the legacy left behind.

    Join us as we run with purpose, walk in remembrance, and move forward together—one mile at a time.
