Coimbra hosts the first edition of the Pink October Race, an event dedicated to breast cancer prevention. The initiative takes place within the framework of the international Pink October movement, which aims to raise awareness about the importance of prevention and early diagnosis of this disease.
The event is promoted by the municipality of Coimbra, which through this race aims to alert the population, especially women, to the need for regular breast health care and screening tests.
The race is one of the municipality's actions to support the fight against breast cancer, contributing to the visibility of awareness campaigns that take place throughout the month of October. The participation open to the community reflects the commitment of local authorities to promoting healthy lifestyles and supporting people affected by this disease.
