Be Ovary Aware 5K

Join us for the 16th Annual Be Ovary Aware 5k Run 3K Walk

Date: Sunday, Sept. 15th, 2024

Location: America The Beautiful Park, in Downtown Colorado Springs 

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. 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 5K Run & 3K Walk 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.
