Diane's Run - September 12, 2021
Join over 2000 athletes in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for Diane's Run
to raise money for breast cancer awareness and research. The 5K and 10K races
are challenging, yet achievable. You can aim for a personal best while taking part to
raise money for this important charity. If you can't run, consider walking. Join
young and old in the fight by participating in the 1-Mile Walk for Hope.
How to Join
You can guarantee a spot by filling out the entry form and mailing it to
dianesrun@example.com.
The $35 entry fee is tax deductible and goes directly to
important research and women in need. We keep our overhead very low so every dollar
counts. More than 75% of the net proceeds fund screening and treatment
programs in your communities. We welcome out-of-town visitors. We will
help you find accommodations during your visit.
History
Since its inception in 2014, Diane's Run has grown from a purely local event involving
100 runners to a signature Wyoming event with more than 2000 participants annually.
The event is enormously effective in spreading the message that breast cancer need
not be fatal if caught early enough with mammography and regular breast self-exams.
As well as a top-flight athletic event, Diane's Run is an emotionally moving event
attracting many first timers and recreational runners. This event provides all of
us with the opportunity to spread a hopeful message about breast cancer to our families
and our communities.
Remembering Diane
Diane's Run is named in remembrance of Diane Wheaton, mother of two and wife
of Peter, who passed away in May, 2013. Diane was an outspoken advocate of physical
fitness and healthy living. She was an inspiration to all who knew her and continues
to be an inspiration to the thousands of runners who have participated in this event.
We hope you can join us this year and become part of the Diane's Run family.
