Against the Tide - Help Prevent Breast Cancer!
Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition Athletic Event
Against the Tide is an annual statewide family-friendly fundraising event to benefit the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC). MBCC works to reduce toxic chemicals in the environment, which research shows are linked to the dramatic rise in the incidence of breast cancer. Against the Tide will take place at DCR’s Nickerson State Park on Saturday August 16th, from 7:00 am until 1:00pm. Participants can choose from 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the following 6 events: a 1-mile swim - competitive or recreational, a 2-mile kayak, a 3-mile walk, a 5K run, and a 10K run. There is also an Aquathon consisting of a competitive 1-mile swim and your choice of a competitive 5K or 10K run. The first activity starts at 8:30am.
