Families Run for Ovarian Cancer ROC Star 5k & 1-Mile Run/Walk 2026

The Families Run for Ovarian Cancer ROC Star 5k & 1-Mile Run/Walk takes place on a Sunday in October at Tower Grove Park. It features a timed 5k run/walk and a 1-mile fun run/walk. Participants unable to attend in person can select the ROC from Home option. Registration begins on World Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day. The event originated with the Jorgensen family, honoring Brenda, their wife, mother, and Nana, during her battle with ovarian cancer. The day aims to raise awareness for ovarian cancer, provide support for survivors, and commemorate those lost to the disease. Each registration includes a limited edition shirt, subject to availability. ROC from Home shirts will be mailed after the in-person event for an additional shipping fee.
