Our Mission

The Chester Strong 5K was created to unite our community through awareness, compassion, and action. Together, we honor survivors, remember loved ones, encourage early detection, and demonstrate that no one fights breast cancer alone.

Every registration, sponsorship, and donation helps strengthen this mission and supports the growth of this event for years to come.

Supporting Survivors. Honoring Fighters. Remembering Loved Ones.

We look forward to seeing you at the starting line as we make history together at the first Chester Strong 5K.

Making an Impact Beyond the Finish Line

Every step taken and every dollar raised through the ChesterStrong 5K Run/Walk helps make a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer.

All proceeds from race registrations, sponsorships, and donations will be donated to the United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF) to support its breast cancer patient and family assistance programs.

Together, we can turn community support into meaningful assistance for individuals and families facing breast cancer.

Run for the fight. Give for the families. Chester Strong.
