50 Shades of Pink 6K(ish) Walk/Run for Breast Cancer
Annually, the second Sunday in April, hundreds of fun, rebel-rowsing folks show up to participate in our super fun 6Kish event. It began on our 7th birthday in April 2013. We held it on April 7th and we had NO idea what distance the event was....so we called it a 7Kish! Then we decided to try to get the distance a little closer to factual, so now it is the 6Kish. It starts and ends at our winery.
The route winds along the lake entrance road, then onto the scenic hiking trail and back to the winery. It is THE perfect event for a novice walker, though we do get a few hard core runners too.
Proceeds from the event go to "Treasured Chests of McCurtain County". Get your pink on and MARK YOUR CALENDAR for the second Sunday in April (unless its Easter, then it is a week later)! And just so you know...at the finish line we serve cookies and wine!
50 Shades of Pink 6K(ish) Walk/Hike/Run
Sunday, April 13, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM (CDT)
This SUPER FUN 6k (ish) run will raise money for "The Girls"...a.k.a. the tatas. Proceeds will be directed to breast cancer research, as well as other cancer causes.
Why a 6K (ish)?? Because the event was started in 2013 as Girls Gone Wine celebrated their 7 year anniversary.....so we called it a 7K on April 7th seemed like a fun idea!! But technically it is closer to a 6K, so we bumped it down a K :)
You might be wondering.... Just how far IS a 6K? Well in this case a 6k-ish is approximately 4.3 miles.
Walkers sign up for this one! It is going to be fun and mainly a WALK...Runners can still run but walkers are totally going to enjoy and rock this walk!! TEAM registration is also available, so grab your friends and register individually OR as a TEAM!
Dress in all things PINK to show your support! This scenic route takes you through portions of Beavers Bend Resort Park, and along a 1 mile section of the David L. Boren Hiking trail. While this course is mostly flat, the trail portion is unpaved, and stretches across a couple of hills and creeks in the Ouachita Mountains!
After the race, prizes will be awarded to the Pinkest of the Pink! All who register by Friday, March 31st will get a 50 Shades of Pink 6K(ish) t-shirt the day of the race. (Those registering after this day still receive a t-shirt and we will mail it after the event for $5 S&H!) Enjoy a glass of wine to celebrate afterward! And all of this for a mere $35 registration fee that helps some great causes!
This is a fun fundraiser, and is NOT a sanctioned event. A timing clock will be set up at the finish to allow you to know your finish time! It will be a ton of fun....so get your pink on and sign up TODAY! Call Girls Gone Wine at 580-494-6243 for more information.
