The 17th annual event, which raises money for breast cancer research, took place in Rogers at the Pinnacle Hills Promenade Mall. It started with a "Survivor Reunion Breakfast" at 6:45 a.m. where numerous cancer survivors were treated to a breakfast before the races began.
A competitive 10K was the first race scheduled beginning at 7:30 a.m. then a competitive 5K at 8 a.m. An award presentation wrapped up the day of racing that also included a fun walk, survivors parade, and non-timed 5K.
Organizers of the Komen Ozark Race for The Cure set a goal of raising $300,000 but so far have collected $171,017, according to their website.
One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, according to the Komen Foundation.
