I’m With Mike 5K

120+ Run and Walk for Prostate Cancer Research

More than 120 runners and walkers gathered early for the I’m With Mike 5K Race and 1-Mile Walk in Homewood on June 24.

Most of those registered came from the Birmingham area and from throughout the state, but runners also came from Baton Rouge, Cincinnati and Indiana.

Runners and walkers could participate virtually or on site at the event’s starting point, The Battery Sports Bar. Those at The Battery at 7 a.m. were geared up for the event with music from a live DJ, food and other activities, followed by a group warm up shortly before the race and walk began at 8 a.m. An awards ceremony was held after the race.

The event is a fundraiser for the Mike Slive 5K Foundation, which seeks to raise awareness of prostate cancer and support cutting-edge research. ❖
