Tampa Bay 5K & Fun Run

The Fight is Our Fight

Join us on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Al Lopez Park as our Tampa Bay community comes together to honor those living with metastatic breast cancer, remember those we've lost, and support the research that brings hope for tomorrow.

Whether you're running the 5K, walking with family, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, you're helping make an impact.

100% of net proceeds benefit METAvivor, the only U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to funding metastatic breast cancer research.

Why This Event Matters

• Understanding Metastatic Cancer: Metastatic breast cancer (Stage IV) is the most advanced stage of breast cancer. While treatments continue to improve, there is still no cure.
• Community Impact: Nearly 170,000 people in the United States are living with metastatic breast cancer, and every dollar raised helps fund research focused on extending lives and ultimately finding a cure.
• Celebrating Life: This event exists to celebrate courage, remember loved ones, support families, and invest in a future where metastatic breast cancer is no longer terminal.
