THIS WEEKEND: THE MAN RUN for prostate cancer continues saving lives
Published: Thursday, June 17, 2010
One in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. But you can help fight the disease in East Tennessee by participating in THE MAN RUN for Prostate Cancer Awareness.
This year’s THE MAN RUN is Saturday, Aug. 28, at 8 a.m. at the UT Medical Center campus in Knoxville, TN. Each entry fee in the race allows two more men in the region to be screened for free. The event includes a 5K race on a new certified course as well as a 1-mile fun walk.
|
Now in its 3rd year, THE MAN RUN is an event for the entire family that honors prostate cancer survivors and raises prostate cancer awareness and funds to provide free prostate cancer screenings and outreach programs throughout the community, delivered by The University of Tennessee Medical Center Cancer Institute.
Approximately 217,730 U.S. men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010, according to the American Cancer Society. More than 27,000 men will die from the disease this year. Early detection, through methods such as prostate cancer screenings, is crucial to boosting survival rates.
For questions about the event, call 865.305.8577.
The Man Run is a member race of the Run and See Tennessee Grand Prix series. The Run and See Tennessee Grand Prix Series is a series of Tennessee running events that take place throughout the year.
