Join us for the 16th Annual Be Ovary Aware 5k Run 3K Walk. Raise awareness for ovarian cancer and raise funds to support Coloradans with 7 different types of gynecologic cancers: Ovarian, fallopian tube, uterine/endometrial, cervical, vaginal, vulvar and peritoneal cancers. This event benefits Sue Gift - Gynecologic Cancer Support. We believe everyone deserves the best chance at survival regardless of their economic or social situation. The Sue's Gift Financial Assistance program helps people who are facing a gynecologic cancer diagnosis pay their bills as they go through treatment. The Peer Support program, started with a grant from Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, trains and empowers survivors, one-year post treatment, to mentor a person newly diagnosed with the same cancer type. Studies have shown that people diagnosed with cancer have better survival rates and lower rates of PTSD if they have emotional, social, and financial support during their cancer journey. Your support and generosity will provide vital services for people diagnosed with gynecologic cancer in Colorado.
The Be Ovary Aware racecourse is a beautiful, flat course overlooking Fountain Creek. The out and back course, along the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail, begins and ends in America the Beautiful Park in Downtown Colorado Springs. Adults $20.00 Pre-registration. $30 day of the event. Youth 16 and under $10 Pre-registration, $20 day of the event. Youth may participate for free but will not receive paid participant benefits.
Event T-shirts are not included with registration this year. You may purchase an official 16th Annual Be Ovary Aware Race T-Shirt for $25 during registration, fundraise $50 and receive the shirt as a reward or skip the t-shirt all together. Whatever you decide, please be sure to wear some teal on race day!
More race swag is available for purchase at the Be Ovary Aware Online Store, right here on Race Roster. You can also get Be Ovary Aware swag as a reward for your fundraising efforts.
When you fundraise to support Be Ovary Aware the money raised goes directly to the programs Sue's Gift offers, supporting people facing gynecologic cancer. Your fundraising efforts are truly appreciated! We want to reward you!
