Note that today’s After-Party is at the Beach Club so you’ll need to coordinate with your friends to drive the golf cart from finish line to the party.
This year’s theme is the Mad Hattery and we encourage everyone to create an appropriate masterpiece or three for the weekend. Make yourself an over-the-top flamingo or breast cancer inspired derby hat and wear it to our party.

When you get to the beach on Hunting Island, stop and write a message in the sand. Make it poignant, make it funny, make it anything you want. Take a pic and tag us on Instagram or Facebook @pledgethepink The best pic wins FREE registration to next year’s event!

Your course today is roughly 4 miles on nature trails and 6 miles on hard-packed sands.

We have pitstops & toilets available at Mile 0, Mile 2.75, Mile 5, Mile 7.75, and Mile 10

Today’s shortcut is 6 miles and volunteers will direct you when you enter the beach on Hunting Island.

Cheer on your posse at the finish line and then pack up your golf cart and head over to the Beach Club to celebrate your first ten finished! Treat your tastebuds to lunch, decorate your fundraising flamingo, or shake your tailfeathers to tunes from DJ Alan

Drag Queen Bingo shows are at 5pm and 7:30pm. The fun takes place under the big tent at the Beach Club, where only bingo ticket holders can enter. You must be 18 or older to play bingo. We will play three rounds with a musical “treat” in between each round. Please be seated 15 minutes before the show so we can start on time. Non-ticket holders can join the fun from outside the tent. Everyone is encouraged to dress up and/or wear a fun costume for the evening. Please note that this is an evening for adults and some language may not be suitable for children or those that are easily offended.
Our Merchandise tent will be open from 9:30am-2:00pm at the Beach Club.
