While coming together to finish breast cancer is vital to the mission of The DONNA Foundation, the health and well-being of patients, race participants, survivors and their supporters is our top priority. Whether it be in-person or virtually, it is important for all of us to do our part to protect ourselves and those around us. Please review before you race the DONNA Health & Safety plan for the 2021 THE PLAYERS DONNA 5K presented by Nimnicht Family of Dealerships.

Participants may transfer to in-person or virtual through 9/30/21 online, and through DONNA Runner Support through Sunday, October 3 at 11:59 pm ET.
