Event summary

Join us for a fun-filled day at the One Step Closer to the Cure Castaway 5K & S.S. Minnow Mile on Saturday, September 13, 2025, in beautiful St. Petersburg, Pinellas! This tropical adventure, inspired by the beloved "Gilligan's Island," is not just a race; it’s a celebration of strength and resilience in the fight against ovarian cancer. Participants can choose between the exhilarating 5K run or the more leisurely S.S. Minnow Mile, which welcomes walkers and runners alike.
