About this race
Race Description:
Join us for the 2nd Annual Miles for Mammos, a meaningful community 5K Run and 1-Mile Run/Walk dedicated to raising awareness, supporting early detection, and supporting breast health in our community.
Whether you are a seasoned runner, a casual walker, a breast cancer survivor, someone currently fighting breast cancer, or walking in honor or memory of a loved one, every step you take helps make a difference.
All proceeds from Miles for Mammos will benefit Dosher Memorial Hospital and support the advancement of breast health services within our community. Your participation helps ensure continued access to quality, compassionate care and reinforces the importance of early detection.
This event is especially meaningful to Dr. Sherrie G. Cass, DNP, FNP-C, founder of Live Oak Med Spa and a breast cancer survivor, who understands firsthand the life-changing impact of routine mammography, early diagnosis, and the support of a caring healthcare community.

- Family-friendly 1-Mile Walk: Begins at 8:15am (1M walk/fun run is not a timed event)
- Breast cancer survivor recognition:
