Event Description

We are proud to announce our 9th Annual Race Event - a milestone year that continues to grow in impact and purpose.

What began as a passion to raise awareness has now expanded even further with the establishment of our official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, strengthening our commitment to this mission for years to come. 

Our race supports awareness and research for Ocular Melanoma, a rare and aggressive cancer that affects just six out of every one million people each year. Though rare, its impact on patients and families is profound - and urgently in need of continued research and breakthroughs. 

Proceeds from this year's event will be benefiting the uveal melanoma research at Moffitt Cancer Center and the laboratories of Dr. Keiran Smalley, Dr. Florian Karreth, and Dr. Alex Jaeger where groundbreaking discoveries are being made to better this disease and develop new treatment strategies.

Together, we run, not just for miles - but for hope, innovation, and life-saving progress. Join us as we continue to make strides toward awareness, research and a cure.
