_ The 2019 Guts and Butts 5K:

*****Foam butts have to be ordered from the manufacturer no later than April 8th. We will order extras, but to be guaranteed to receive one in your race packet, you must register no later than April 7th!*****

GI Associates & Endoscopy Center is proud to announce the new and improved Guts and Butts 5k Run and Walk. This event is intended to raise awareness of the importance of getting screened for colon cancer, and to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors and those who ran out of time.

Colon cancer is one of the most preventable and curable cancers when screened in a timely manner.

All net proceeds will be donated to the 70x2020 initiative whose goal is to have 70% of all eligible Mississippians screened annually by 2020. 

Participants will be given a foam butt to wear outside of their race clothing, and there will be a "butt customization station" where participants can decorate or customize the color of their foam butts. This is an irreverent and awesome way to bring attention to a serious issue, and to reduce the stigma of colon screenings  and colonoscopies.

Participants who are survivors of any type of cancer will be given a shirt that identifies them as a Survivor, there will be a Survivor photo backdrop area for pictures, and survivors finishing the race will have a separate finish line where they will be given a rose to carry through the line as a thank you for inspiring others in their own cancer fight.

In addition, each participant will receive a custom race bib with an area where the name or names of loved ones who have fought cancer can be written in, allowing the participant to run "In Honor Of" this person. 

The event will take place outside the new Brandon Amphitheater. The run course will be an out and back on Marquette Road.
