Organiser's description

Join us on June 25th @ 8AM for a fun-filled day of family activities, including a 5k run/walk to raise awareness and funds for ovarian cancer research. This cause is near and dear to our hearts as we honor Jackie's memory and the countless other women affected by this disease.

In addition to the race, we'll also have live music, a bouncy house, face painting, and plenty of family fun activities! Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, there's a place for you in our community.

Jackie's Run is a fundraiser in partnership with the American Cancer Society to solely benefit ovarian cancer research.
The mission behind Jackie's Run is to create a yearly event that continues to grow and that supports the research of ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, most stories of ovarian cancer are similar. According to the American Cancer Society, 65% of women who are diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer do not survive for 5 years or longer. The mission for Jackies Run is to fund research that will result in more advanced testing for earlier diagnosis, better ways of treatment, and improved survival rates leading ultimately to beating this disease.

Registration is now open! Help us make a difference!
