Grab your bucket hat & lei and then JOIN THE FUN for a tropical 5K adventure inspired by "Gilligan’s Island!" We’re running & walking to raise awareness and support for Ovarian Cancer fighters, survivors, and research. Looking to go a shorter distance? Sign up for the S.S. Minnow Mile, a fun 1-mile event and save your energy for the after-party at the finish line!
 
Good news! We are bringing back the Stiletto Strut where those who are brave enough “walk in her shoes!" It’s a crowd-favorite event where men (yes, men!) & women step into stilettos in solidarity before the 5K. It’s awkward and unforgettable and you should totally do it!
Dressing up for race day is highly encouraged and we have some fun island-themed ideas in the works...think music, water guns, and all things tiki!
 
Started as the One Step Closer Run/Walk, this race has been a Celma Mastry Ovarian Cancer Foundation tradition for 17 years! Your participation helps provide financial assistance to local patients and supports research, prevention, and education in the community!
So grab your friends, coworkers, and family members and run, jog, or walk along the beautiful Downtown St. Petersburg waterfront! Participants will receive a medal, shirt, and post-race refreshments. Kick off the race season with us!
Make sure to follow the Celma Mastry Ovarian Cancer Foundation page on Facebook & Instagram for more race updates and information!
