The 6th annual Pink Up the Pace 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run will take place on Oct. 22, 2023, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Crestline Field, Crestline Elementary School.
This event, presented by Benton Nissan and ABC 33/40, is organized by the Junior Board of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama. It aims to raise funds and awareness for local breast cancer research.
