RICHMOND, Ky. –
Eastern Kentucky University men's basketball head coach A.W. Hamilton will serve as the grand marshal of the second NEON Night Run/Walk, A Paint the Town Pink Event, on Oct. 3 in Richmond. 
 
Paint the Town Pink started in 2009 as a community campaign to increase cancer awareness, prevention and treatment throughout Madison County. Through the generosity expressed to the campaign, more than $150,000 has been donated to support local initiatives that align with the campaign's mission since its inception.
 
The NEON Night Run/Walk is a partnership between Baptist Health Richmond, the City of Richmond and EKU.
 
Community members and race participants are also invited to enjoy a block party in the Mill District throughout the Water Street area from 7-10 p.m.
 
The race will start at 8 p.m. on Water Street. 
 
Participants will run or walk through downtown Richmond under the evening sky adorned in neon colors to light up the night.  Awards will be given for the top-3 overall male and female finishers.  There is a $35 fee for participation in the NEON Night Run/Walk.
 
Race participants who register by Sept. 19 will receive a special race event shirt.
