2026 Mother's Day 5K & Fun Run

MIOCA is proud to present our annual Mother’s Day Time to Teal Run/Walk on Sunday, May 10, 2026!

Gather your family and friends for this special Mother’s Day tradition that brings people together to celebrate the incredible women in our lives​, while ​raising crucial ovarian cancer awareness in our community.

Both the 5K and one-mile Fun Run/Walk ​invites participants of all ages and abilities​!

The fun includes: 

  • Chip-timed 5K bibs
  • Awesome swag you’ll love
  • Courses that welcome runners, walkers, and strollers
  • ​Awards for top finishers and fundraising prizes
  • Free registration for ovarian cancer survivors
  • A joyful, supportive atmosphere honoring the amazing women in our lives

The Time to Teal Run/Walk was inspired by MIOCA co-founder Pam Dahlmann, who sought a meaningful way to honor her mother​'s memory, Geri Fournier​, on Mother’s Day. We are honored to continue this tradition in her name.

Each year, this event brings together mothers, daughters, families, and friends to reflect, remember, and celebrate together while recognizing the impact ovarian cancer has had on so many lives.

Please note: Due to anticipated construction, there is a location change for the 2026 Time to Teal Run/Walk. The event will be held at Rolling Hills County Park in Ypsilanti, MI.

If you are interested in becoming an event sponsor, providing in-kind donations, or have additional questions, please email Ashley at ashleymyers@mioca.org Proceeds from this event benefit the Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance.
