Denver Gazette: Breweries to Host Bra‑Free Trot
Each year, Breast Cancer Awareness Month takes place in October, and a couple Denver-area establishments have come up with a creative way to support the effort.
On October 5, Empourium Brewing Co., Ohana Yoga, and The Alley Denver will be hosting ‘Titty Trot 2025,’ described as a “bra-free trot for breast cancer awareness.”
Participants will start off at Empourium Brewing Co. at 10 a.m. with a yoga session set to be hosted by Ohana Yoga and Barre from 10:30 a.m. to 10:50 a.m. Once 11 rolls around, the ‘trot’ begins, which is described as a two-block ‘trot’ between Empourium and Alley Brews, with the latter spot also offering burritos, music, and a photo wall.
“Feel free to run, walk, skip, or whatever floats your boat,” reads the event page.
It’s also worth noting that a key part of the event is education, with Megan from BeaconRN set to provide advice about “quick, confidence-building breast self-exam education.” Proceeds of the event give back to the cause, too, helping to support Polite Tumor, which operates with a mission to provide financial assistance to adults under 40 who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The event price is listed as $23.15 on the Eventbrite page, with each ticket including two drinks. All ages and genders are welcome, but attendees must be 21-plus to drink. Music will be unedited and may include explicit content.
As far as the event being ‘bra-free’ goes, event organizers say this is “to keep a serious topic approachable and support positive body image. 100% optional – wear what’s comfortable.”
The three companies involved in hosting the event are all women-owned, described as creating a “welcoming, inclusive space.”
In the United States, it’s estimated that 316,950 women and 2,800 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2025. Aside from skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer found in American women, with one in eight woman developing breast cancer throughout a lifetime. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, if breast cancer is caught early and at the localized stage (as is the case roughly 66 percent of the time), the five-year relative survival rate is 99 percent. Early detection is important, and this ‘trot’ aims to spread education that can help make that more possible.
