Octobre Rose - Mimizan

Octobre Rose, or Pink October, is the national French campaign held every autumn to raise awareness of breast cancer and to fund screening, research and patient support. Towns across the country organise runs, walks and other gatherings, and participants are traditionally encouraged to wear pink.

The walking routes are listed as marches, which in French events usually means a non-competitive outing at your own pace. If you need confirmation on timing, results or rankings for the walks, contact the organiser before entering.

The event supports the Octobre Rose breast cancer campaign, and the entry fees collected through the HelloAsso page go towards the cause. The exact amounts and any optional donation are shown on the registration page.

Outdoor walking and running events in France usually go ahead in light rain, with cancellation reserved for severe conditions such as storms or official weather warnings. Any change to the programme is announced by the organiser, so follow their website before travelling.
