Thousands participate in More Than Pink Walk along with CBS 8 team

The first-ever Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk kicked off at Balboa Park Sunday morning. It was formerly known as the Race for the Cure.

CBS 8 is a proud sponsor of the event that supports breast cancer research.

Last year’s race was virtual due to the pandemic. Organizers said this year, the race isn’t focused on what time you finish, but instead community and togetherness.

More than 3,000 participants walked, including breast cancer survivor, Shelly Herndon.
