The 26th Annual Ellen's Run

Join us in person or virtually for the 26th annual ellen's run!

Support the race to beat breast cancer by running or walking 3.1 miles anytime, anywhere!

Now in its 26th year, Ellen’s Run is the signature fundraising event of The Ellen Hermanson Foundation. Voted Best Sporting Event for the last nine years by Dan’s Papers: Best of the Best, Ellen’s Run is a grassroots summer tradition and a highly visible event that raises funds and awareness about breast cancer.

This year the Ellen’s Run Hybrid 5K run/walk is back on Sunday, August 15, with limited registration available for the in person event. Participants are also invited to join the race virtually in neighborhoods throughout our East End community and beyond.

Runners can post their results beginning Sunday, August 15 through Monday, August 30, 2021. Top performers and fundraisers will be announced!

About The Ellen Hermanson Foundation — Over the course of over twenty five years, The Ellen Hermanson Foundation has changed the medical landscape of the East End of Long Island, where breast cancer diagnosis and mortality rates are among the highest in New York state. With a deep commitment to the community, the Foundation gives back by funding state-of-the-art medical equipment and breast cancer screenings at The Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and locations in Hampton Bays and East Hampton, where over 12,000 screenings were performed in 2019. Proceeds also benefit Ellen’s Well, a free psycho-social services program that provides support groups other healing opportunities for breast cancer survivors. No one is turned away from the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center for lack of insurance or inability to pay.

The Ellen Hermanson Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to ensure access to state-of-the art breast health care and to empower people affected by cancer.
