Pulling for Pink is a breast cancer awareness event that is part of the Austin Rowing Club‘s annual Head of the Colorado Regatta (known as the PumpkinHead) each October. A uniquely-Austin event, Pulling for Pink combines our love of Lady Bird Lake with the power of community support to TURN THE RIVER PINK with friends, loved ones, and warriors in the battle against breast cancer.

This year’s Pulling for Pink will be held on Saturday, October 28th. It takes place throughout the day on the race course and on site at Festival Beach (East of IH-35), along the shores of Lady Bird Lake!
