The Yvette Palmer Purple Pinkie Race to Zero 5K is a Running race in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania consisting of a 5K.
We know you have a LOT of choices for 5Ks in the Fall. How about running for a terrific cause - the eradication of one of the most crippling diseases of the last one hundred years? WHY PURPLE PINKIE? When vaccinating the children in remote parts of the world, the medical team hands out candy. But kids, being smart, started showing up in line multiple times to get more. So the medical folks began to roll the children's pinkie finger in purple ink to identify those who'd been inoculated. Today, we run with Purple Pinkies to show our support of the people needing our help to fight this horrible disease.
