About The Teal Run
The Teal Run is a day of hope, love and support for women and families affected by ovarian cancer. It is more than just a race, it’s a celebration of resilience and the power of community. With its scenic 10K & 5K courses, energizing atmosphere, and engaging activities for all ages, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience that combines passion, fitness, and making a tangible difference.
Set along the scenic Los Gatos Creek Trail, the entire community is invited to take part in this fun filled event. There will be a survivor ceremony, healthcare hero awards, face painting, photo booth, bubble show, art booth and so much more! Every participant will get a medal and be entered to win some fabulous raffle prizes. Carolyn McArdle, from iHeartRadio, returns to host this special day.
Celebrating 10 Years!
The Teal Foundation was started in 2015 by Laurie DeSimone and a group of select volunteers. Laurie wanted to promote a sense of community for ovarian cancer survivors, family and friends while also coming together to fundraise for research with the ultimate goal of finding a cure. Sadly Laurie passed away shortly after the inagural run but her efforts continue through the work of The Teal Foundation.
The Teal Run has remained the only Bay Area running event dedicated to ovarian cancer awareness and support. Over 3,000 participants have united to raise over $500,000 for ovarian cancer research and support services.
