Are strollers/baby joggers allowed on the course?
For the safety of your child and the other participants, we strongly discourage the use of strollers and/or baby joggers. All participants who risk the use of strollers/baby joggers will be directed to the back of the race line up for the safety of that child and other participants.
Note: Dogs, skateboards and bikes are NOT permitted on race day.
How much does it cost to start a team?
There are no additional fees to start a team for Ribbon Run. All team participants need to do is find your team name then register with that team. You must have 10 members on your team to qualify for team packet pickup.

Please contact Kemi Anderson with Huntsville Hospital Foundation at kemi.anderson@hhsys.org. Send your first and last name along with the team you would like to join.
Do you have to have a minimum amount of people in order to have a team?
Yes, we ask that your team is made of 10 or more registered participants. We ask this due to team packet packing logistics. If your team does not have 10 or more team members, you can still wear your team T-shirts, but as the team captain, you will not pick up your team member’s shirts and packets on the team packet pick up date.
Can I switch my registration from one runner to another?

Why run?
Since its start, the event has helped thousands of North Alabama women detect breast cancer earlier – and survive it. Proceeds fuel the Liz Hurley Breast Cancer Fund at Huntsville Hospital Foundation, which provides cutting-edge technology, advanced diagnostics and free support classes for survivors.
This year’s race will fund a brand-new Envision Mammography Platform for the Huntsville Hospital Breast Center. Thanks to your donations, the Huntsville Hospital Breast Center will be the first in our state to have this next-generation 3D mammography solution, redesigned from the ground up to be the most advanced, patient-centric breast imaging platform on the market.
