Step Right Up to Beat Cancer at the

16th Annual Pink Pumpkin Run!

The Foundation for Marshall Medical Centers invites you to the 16th Annual Pink Pumpkin Run - a community tradition supporting mammography and cancer services at Marshall Medical Centers.

Join us "under the big top" on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at Guntersville Civitan Park for a morning filled with purpose and energy! The event features our signature 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run, with something for every age and fitness level as well as music, kids’ activities, photo ops, and the ever-popular Pink Pancake Brunch!

This year’s theme is “Step Right Up to Beat Cancer”, inspired by the excitement of the circus! Come dressed as a ringmaster, acrobat, juggler, or even channel your inner tightrope walker or strongwoman. Team costumes are encouraged and always a hit! Whether you go all out or just add a touch of flair, we can’t wait to see how you bring the theme to life on race day.

Whether you run, walk, dance, or juggle your way across the finish line, you're helping to support lifesaving mammography services right here at home.

Packet Pick-Up Opportunities:

Friday, October 24 from 3–6 PM: Guntersville Rec Center Multi-Purpose Room
Saturday, October 25 from 7:15–8:45 AM: Guntersville Civitan Park

Why We Run

Proceeds from the Pink Pumpkin events will support cancer care service programs at Marshall Medical Centers. The primary recipient of these funds is the Mammography Assistance Program (MAP) which provides financial assistance to women who are unable to afford an annual mammogram. Many women delay or forgo this potentially life-saving screening due to barriers such as lost wages from time off work, lack of transportation, or the cost of gas. Thanks to MAP, we can help remove these obstacles and ensure more women have access to essential care. We also participate in honor and memory of loved ones who have faced the fight against cancer.

To see just how much this event means to our community, we invite you to watch last year’s video filled with heartfelt testimonials and personal stories that make the Pink Pumpkin Run so special:
