Early bird registration for the 2025 Pink Army 5K is open.

The annual event hosted by the city of Palm Coast and AdventHealth is scheduled for Oct. 5 at 7:45 a.m. at AdventHealth Palm Coast. The Pink Army 5K raises money for breast cancer awareness, education and screening.

All of the funds remain in Flagler County supporting residents with early dedication screening, cancer-related education materials and cancer diagnostics and screening. Additional will funds support the purchase of AdventHealth Palm Coast's new da Vinci 5 robotic system that assists in complex cancer-related surgeries.

Participants and spectators alike dress in pink at the event, which also includes a pet-friendly 1-mile fun walk and a pinkest pet costume contest.

“There’s something powerful about seeing a sea of pink winding through our streets,” said John Subers, executive director of the AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation. “It sends a message louder than words. It tells every person facing breast cancer that this community shows up, stands beside them and stays in the fight with them.”

To register for the 5K or fun walk, go to runsignup.com/Race/FL/PalmCoast/pink5k. Those using the code "EARLYBIRD" will receive a $5 discount. A discounted student rate (18 and under) is $20 with the code "FlaglerParent".  Both codes are valid through Aug. 31. For sponsorship or group information, call 386-986-2323. 

Palm Coast's Food Truck Tuesday event on Sept. 16 at Central Park in Town Center will benefit the Pink Army 5K.
