Ovarian Cancer 5K

Event Overview

This event will benefit ovarian cancer research through the Mucinous Ovarian Cancer Coalition. We are excited to offer a yearly event to raise funds and awareness about ovarian cancer. There is no screening method to detect ovarian cancer. The signs and symptoms of the disease are often vague. Some of the signs/symptoms include bloating, feeling full quickly, abdominal or pelvic pain, and urinary frequency. All women with ovaries are at risk for this disease. Sign up and run or walk this race for all the important women in your life and help contribute to ovarian cancer research!

T-Shirts and Merchandise

Runners in the 5K receive a t-shirt with a custom logo from local artist Nel McLawhorn. The t-shirt is only guaranteed if ordered by August 15th. Hats and tank tops are available for purchase during registration.

Note: Medals and t-shirts are not guaranteed if signed up from August 14th-September 26th. We have done our best to order enough t-shirts and medals for all participants. Just in case we run out, we made the decision to not 100% guarantee after 8/14. But hopefully we did a good job at over ordering shirts and medals.
