Not Your Typical 5K
In 2008, The Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA) launched a series of 5000 meter (5K) runs called Undy 5000s. These events are designed to draw media attention, give survivors and caregivers a voice, and get people talking about colorectal cancer.
Participants in the Undy 5000 5K run will be drawing attention to their bottoms--and colorectal cancer--by running or walking in their underwear. Yes, underwear. Instead of a boring old race T-shirt, our participants will even get boxer shorts!
Why underwear? Because people don't like to talk about colorectal cancer. And talking about it will save their lives. We need people to talk about colorectal cancer at their doctor's office, around the dinner table, at the grocery store … everywhere.
