About Pink Walk
A walk of solidarity in the heart of the Gargano
The Pink Walk is an initiative that paints the village of Mattinata, in the province of Foggia, pink every autumn. It is not a competitive race, but a symbolic, inclusive walk open to people of all ages, dedicated to women's cancer prevention and raising awareness about women's health. It is the local community's way of supporting "Pink October," the international month for the fight against breast cancer.
Where we walk: the Belvedere of Monte Saraceno
The gathering and start take place near the Belvedere of Monte Saraceno, a site of immense scenic and archaeological value that overlooks the Gargano coast and sea. The route is short and accessible to everyone, winding through natural vistas of rare beauty: an itinerary designed not for athletic performance, but for the pleasure of walking together in a setting that combines nature, history, and panoramic views of the Gargano coastline.
Organizers and purpose
The event is promoted by the UISP Foggia-Manfredonia Committee as part of the "Capitanata in Rosa" series, which brings prevention walks to various municipalities in the Foggia area. In Mattinata, the initiative is carried out in collaboration with ANDOS Foggia (National Association of Women Operated for Breast Cancer), Komen Puglia, and the Fondazione ANT, with the patronage of the Municipality of Mattinata and the Puglia Region. Every step becomes a concrete gesture of care for one's own health and that of others, with moments dedicated to information on early diagnosis.
An event for the whole community
