SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Skaters, boarders, and cyclists hit the pavement Sunday, October 26, 2025, for the 18th Annual Skate the Coast event, an 18-mile ride from the Santa Monica Pier to the Redondo Beach Pier in support of breast cancer awareness.
Dressed head to toe in shades of pink — from helmets and jerseys to boards wrapped in ribbons — participants filled the Santa Monica Bike Path with color and energy. Many adorned their gear with slogans of hope and support, transforming the coastal route into a rolling sea of solidarity.
The annual event, organized by Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) — a nonprofit founded in 1996 — brings together participants of all ages to promote early detection and encourage an active, healthy lifestyle as a means of breast cancer prevention.
B4BC’s mission centers on empowering young people with education about early breast cancer detection while advocating for movement and wellness as key elements of prevention. Beyond awareness, the organization provides ongoing support for those affected by the disease, with programs focused on three pillars: Educational Outreach, Prevention and Awareness Events, and Survivorship Support.
Sunday’s event served as a vibrant display of community spirit and advocacy, blending athleticism and compassion to drive social impact. Riders coasted the scenic shoreline under clear skies — demonstrating how sport and solidarity can come together for a meaningful cause.
