2019 Blue Ribbon Run Results
The Blue Ribbon Run is a truly unique event – much much more than just a race! This afternoon event has finishers transported to enjoy a reception provided by Dockside. That’s where food, drink and the Lunar Tide band will be ready to reward you for your effort in kicking cancer’s butt. All proceeds from this incredible event benefit raising awareness and finding a cure for colon cancer.
About the Cause
This year’s race is dedicated to the memory of Bland Gillikin, a Wilmington local and loving father, husband and friend to many who lost his very short battle with colon cancer in August 2018.
All proceeds, donations, and sponsorships benefit colon cancer research, raising awareness for the prevention of colon cancer, as well as helping local families affected by colon cancer.
