Bras Across the CAUSEway 5k & Festival

Bras Across the CAUSEway 5K & Festival is a timed 5K run or walk held at USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, Alabama, beginning on Battleship Parkway. The event also includes a family-friendly 1-Mile Fun Run, a virtual participation option, and a shirt-only purchase to support the cause. It functions as a community fundraiser for Bras Across the CAUSEway, directing funds to local breast cancer patients via a patient assistance program. The course is straightforward according to public information: the main race is a 5K starting at the battleship park, with runners and walkers participating on the same morning. The festival aspect provides a more relaxed, local atmosphere, encouraging costumes, allowing leashed dogs, and featuring treats from Mobile-area merchants. Its fundraising is direct: proceeds assist patients with costs for gas, groceries, copays, uncovered medical bills, rent, utilities, and other essential needs. The event has taken place for ten years, and local businesses contribute as “Giverbackers,” receiving promotion beyond race day.
