The first Pink Walk was organised in 2006 by a group of health promoters and breast cancer survivors who wanted to raise breast cancer awareness in the Waikato community. Since the initial event it has received amazing public support.

Over the years the Pink Walk has been organised by a committee of representatives from the Breast Cancer Research Trust, Breast Screen Midland, the Waikato Treasure Chests (breast cancer survivor dragon boat team), the Women’s Cancer Support Group and representatives from sponsors.

We acknowledge the valued contributions of past sponsors and organising committee members.

Ask your friends to support your Pink Walk & Run

Pink Walk & Run participants can now ask their allies to support their efforts for the event by donating to their Give A Little page.

Wear your pink finery for breast cancer awareness or yellow in support of local breast cancer research. Even better, mix pink and yellow together.

We’ve got fantastic prizes for the best dressed adult, best dressed little person (under 5), best dressed young person (5 – 12), best dressed group and best dressed dog as well as a great raffle to win (you must be at the event to claim your prize).

Medals for the first, second and third runners and spot prizes along the way – you’ve got to be in it to win it!

Cross the finish line and hang around for a sausage sizzle (proudly provided by Braemar Hospital), a Shot Coffee hot beverage or an ice-cream by Mr. Whippy.

Our Master of Ceremonies, Stu from The Breeze Waikato FM will keep you on your toes throughout the event.
