One in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, and more than 33,000 men will die from the disease this year.
Because of these staggering statistics, the PACE Race Run/Walk Series was launched in 2002 as a method for the Prostate Conditions Education Council (PCEC) to increase national awareness of prostate cancer and men’s health issues.
Now known as SET the PACE for Prostate Cancer, PCEC hosts a series of events around the nation with a mission of increasing awareness of prostate cancer and to educate men and their families on early treatment options and other men's health issues.
SET the PACE for Prostate Cancer complements PCEC's missions of offering free or low cost prostate cancer screenings across the nation as well as educating men, the women in their lives, and the medical community, about the prevalence of prostate cancer; the importance of early detection; and available treatment options.
SET the PACE for Prostate Cancer is more than just a one day event. We are coordinating events with Pints for Prostates and Us Too to help spread the word among survivors and support groups. We will also host FREE training runs for the public at Everyday Athlete in Kirkland to get you ready to run or walk SET the PACE for Prostate Cancer Race on October 2.
