Pink October

Pink October in Irving, Texas, is a running event held at Sam Houston Trails Park to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Scheduled for October 11, 2025, it offers multiple race distances including a 5K, 10K, 1 Mile, and a new Kid's Dash—a short 100-200 meter sprint designed for children to experience racing in a fun, pressure-free environment. Participants receive event-themed t-shirts and finisher medals, with additional awards for top age group finishers and overall winners.

The event fosters a supportive atmosphere for runners and walkers while raising funds for breast cancer research. Volunteers can also earn free race entries by helping on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
