About this run
The Bullies for Boobies: 30-Day, 30-Mile Light Up MBC Challenge is a virtual event running throughout October 2026. Participants are encouraged to walk, run, hike, or use a treadmill to complete 30 miles over the course of the month. This challenge aims to raise awareness and funds for both Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Pit Bull Awareness Month.
This year's challenge specifically highlights metastatic breast cancer (MBC), which is Stage IV breast cancer and currently has no cure. Fifty percent of the proceeds from the challenge will be donated to METAvivor to support MBC research. The remaining 50% will go to The Pittie Project's spay/neuter assistance program for pit bull-type dogs.
Participants can complete their miles anywhere, at their own pace, and with friends or family. Upon registration, participants will receive a Bullies for Boobies shirt and a Pittie Project/#LightUpMBC car magnet. Prizes are also available for the top fundraisers.
