The Run for Her is an annual fundraising run/walk founded by Collingwood native and ovarian cancer researcher Alicia Tone in 2020. Starting as a solo half-marathon, the Run for Her has grown to a multi-distance trail event and education/advocacy initiative involving collaborations with local companies and the patient community. This local grassroots event is growing, with 98 participants in 2024 and close links to a national charity and a global cause.
100% of funds raised through the Run for Her go to Ovarian Cancer Canada (OCC), the only national charity dedicated to overcoming the most fatal cancer affecting women and people born with ovaries. To date we have raised $68,164 for OCC, with a goal of passing the $100,000 mark in 2025.
Some of the aspects making the Run for Her a unique event include:
· Participants can choose to run or walk one of 4 distance options (5 km, 10 km, 21 km, 31 km)
· Patient advocates are on site each year to cheer on participants
· Participant awards, including first and final 31 km finisher (Gazelle and Grit awards)
· Music, snacks, swag, homemade race bibs and epic scenery
· All genders, paces and skill levels welcome
