22nd Annual Barbara Ireland Walk for Breast Cancer

The Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara presents a 5K and 10K walk and run along Santa Barbara’s beautiful waterfront in support of local breast cancer research and programs.

Santa Barbara, Calif. – Join Barbara Ireland, her family, and other champions of breast cancer as they support the 22nd Annual Barbara Ireland Walk and Run for Breast Cancer. This year’s Barbara Ireland Walk and Run will offer both in-person and virtual options. On Saturday, May 21st, a 5K and 10K will begin at Chase Palm Park in Santa Barbara and take place along Santa Barbara’s beautiful waterfront. Help us reach our goal of $50,000 for breast cancer research and programs in Santa Barbara!

100% of the funds raised from event registration fees and pledges benefit local breast cancer research and programs at the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center at Sansum Clinic. These programs include clinical research, which provides access to cutting-edge therapies here in our own community; genetic counseling, which provides patients with the chance to determine their genetic risk for cancer and possibly have their treatment modified as a result; and navigation, which offers patients a consistent care coordinator during their experience with breast cancer.

Registration is open now at www.cfsb.org/irelandwalk2022. The registration fee is $50 for adults through April 30 and $60 from May 1 – 20. The cost for children 12 and under is $20. Participants who raise $100 or more will have their registration fees waived! Everyone must register in advance – registration will be unavailable on the day of the event.

Everyone is encouraged to register either individually or as a team. The team that raises the most money will have its name engraved on the Pink Ribbon Barbara Ireland Walk trophy. An award will also be given to the largest team and the Spirit Award will be given to the participant who is dressed most festively.

While we plan to gather together in person safely, the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara will follow guidance from Public Health and infectious disease experts. COVID safety requirements will be communicated as we get closer to the event, and we will be in touch with all our registrants in the event that we need to adapt the race to ensure the health of our community. Additional information may be found on the website.
