GENERAL INFORMATION
Pink on Parade takes place on October 24 at Ryan Bonaminio Park, 5000 Tequesquite Ave, Riverside, CA 92501. Registration begins at 7:30 AM. The Mt. Rubidoux walk will begin at 9 AM, and the Family Fun walk will begin at 9:15 AM.
There is no minimum age requirement for Pink on Parade participants. Please feel free to bring your children! All children aged 10 and under get in for free!
No, everyone at Pink on Parade and the route must register and sign a waiver and release of liability as part of the registration process. This is crucial for the safety of the participants and allows The Pink Ribbon Place, a Riverside Community Health Foundation program, to measure the event's growth each year. Your registration helps us maintain safe and accurate results, so please encourage your family and friends to register for the event.
We have TWO routes for ONE cause: a beginner 1.8K Family Fun route around the park and an intermediate 5K Mt. Rubidoux route going up the mountain.
Not at all! If you don’t want to walk either route, we have vendors, food and drink, and entertainment throughout the event for all to enjoy. For more information about the activities on the event day, check out the schedule!
HEALTH AND SAFETY
If you need assistance, the route will be patrolled by volunteers who can provide it. There will also be a designated First Aid station and EMS personnel onsite.
We understand the importance of staying hydrated, especially during physical activities. We will have hydration stations strategically placed throughout the route. Feel free to bring your own water bottle too!
REGISTRATION
The registration cost is based on age; children 10 and under are free, youth (11 years to 17 years) and Seniors (55+) are $20, and ages 18 and older are $30.
To register, go to www.pinkonparade.org, click on the register button in the top menu, continue through the questions, and make any selections that meet your needs.

TEAMS
You can form your own team or check whether you can join an existing team at www.pinkonparade.org. You will first need to register yourself, and under the “donate” section of the registration process, select “create a team.”
Creating a team builds camaraderie and naturally fosters team spirit. It is a fun way for coworkers, friends, and families to come together and honor or support someone who has been touched by breast cancer.
No, we encourage Pink on Parade participants and our teams to set a self-imposed fundraising goal - we do not place a goal for you.
We want to encourage you to build amazing and supportive teams, so we are giving away awards to the following categories:
-
Most Money Raised: Make sure all donations are in by event day to count toward this prize.
- Most Spirited Team: Show off your pink pride in the most creative way possible! Cheer, dress up, and bring the energy—our event committee will be on the lookout for the most spirited team!
Winners will be announced during the closing ceremony at 11:00 AM!
Are you and your team doing a fun fundraiser? Do you guys have an awesome contest going on in the office? Tell us all about it by submitting your story to marketing@rchf.org with the name of your Team and Captain! Be sure to tag us on social media @thepinkribbonplace!
Teams that raise $1000 or more will be placed in our Team Tailgate area! You and your team can bypass the check-in lines and have your own 10x10 space with a tent, a table, and chairs to party throughout the event! For more information about Team Tailgate, the deadline, and other fundraising benefits, check out our website, www.pinkonparade.org.
VOLUNTEERS
Visit our website at pinkonparade.org and click the “volunteer” link in the top menu. Choose the area you would like to volunteer in, then answer the questions. For more information on volunteering, please email volunteer@rchf.org.
Volunteers cheer on walkers, support survivors, assist vendors, or guide kids in our activity zones. They make a big impact and create a day full of joy, community, and celebration. Volunteers are the heart of our event, helping ensure every participant, survivor, and family feels welcomed and supported. Find out more at volunteer.pinkonparade.org
A volunteer will support Pink on Parade and event staff in the days leading up to the event, on the day of, and post-event. Volunteers do not walk in the event; rather, they support walkers in many ways, such as helping with registration, at water stations on the route, and in other areas of Pink on Parade. Volunteers are essential to making the day of the event run smoothly.
