Statewide Against the Tide Events for Breast Cancer Prevention

Register now for the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC) annual, statewide Against the Tide Swim, Kayak, Walk, Run and/or Aquathon rain or shine fundraising event. The morning event consists of several components: competitive and recreational swims, recreational kayak, a fitness walk, and USA Track & Field certified 5K/10K runs. Participants of all ages and abilities can choose 1, 2, or 3 of these exciting activities. The event also offers an Aquathon “Splash and Dash” component, where participants “splash” in the competitive 1-mile swim and immediately “dash” in the competitive 5K or 10K run (chosen by the participant). Participants may register as an individual or as part of a team. Registration is $40 per adult per event activity and $25 per student per event activity. Participants are encouraged to fundraise beyond these suggested minimums, as all proceeds support Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition’s unique goal towards breast cancer prevention. Prizes will be awarded to the fastest athletes and top fundraisers.

The statewide Cape Cod Against the Tide will be held for the 17th year at DCR's Nickerson State Park on Saturday, August 20, 2016. The event starts at 7:00 am and ends at 12:00 noon. Please visit www.mbcc.org/swim or call 617-376-6222 for more information and to register.
