Description
2016 Against the Tide Aquathlon, Swim & Running:
• Against the Tide is a swim, kayak, walk, or run event with an Aquathon option. After the 1-mile swim, participants transition to the 5K or the 10K run, both of which are USA Track & Field Certified. You may register as an individual or as a part of a team. The registration fee is a donation to the MBCC in the amount of $40 per activity. Student rates are available, and athletes of all ages are welcome. Prizes will be awarded to the podium finishers and top fundraisers, and complimentary refreshments will be provided to all.
• Proceeds from these events sustain the MBCC and their unique work toward breast cancer prevention. The MBCC is often overshadowed by larger, national breast cancer organizations and messages of early detection, treatment, and finding a cure. MBCC depends on hardworking fundraisers like you to continue their work of preventing environmental causes of breast cancer through community education, research advocacy, and changes to public policy.
• The Statewide Metro-Boston Against the Tide will be held for the 24th year at DCR's Hopkinton State Park on Saturday, June 18. The statewide Cape Cod Against the Tide will be held for the 17th year at DCR's Nickerson State Park in Brewster, MA on Saturday, August 20.
