Statewide Against the Tide Events for Breast Cancer Prevention

The Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC) will be holding its annual, statewide Against the Tide swim, kayak, walk, and/or run fundraising events again in 2016. The morning events consist of several components: competitive and recreational swims, recreational kayak, recreational walk, and USATF certified competitive and recreational 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 USATF certified competitive 5K or 10K run (chosen by the participant). Participants may register as an individual or as part of a team. Registration is $40 for each event up to a maximum of 3 events and $80 for the Aquathon. We encourage all participants to fundraise beyond the registration minimum, as all proceeds support the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition. Prizes will be awarded to the podium finishers and top fundraisers.

The statewide Metro-Boston Against the Tide will be held for the 24th year at DCR’s Hopkinton State Park on Saturday, June 18, 2016. 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. Both statewide events start at 7:00 am and end at 12:00 noon.
