Mighty Moose 5k Run/Walk for Ovarian Cancer
The Mighty Moose 5k Run/Walk for Ovarian Cancer is a community event in Concord that combines in-person and virtual participation to raise funds for ovarian cancer research. The in-person race day is scheduled for October 18, 2026, and a virtual 5K option is available during the two weeks leading up to that date. Organizers have waived the entry fee for 2026 and continue to accept donations to support research efforts.
The event includes multiple distances:
- 5K (in-person and virtual)
- Kids 1 mile
- Kids 1/2 mile
Packet pickup is planned the day before the in-person race at Concord-Carlisle Regional High School, with additional pickup available on race day. The Mighty Moose event is held in memory of a community member who died of ovarian cancer and is presented as part of the broader Kicks for Cancer weekend.
Funds raised in 2026 support the transition of ovarian cancer detection work from research to clinical implementation, including a study partnering with major clinical centers to evaluate an ovarian cancer early detection test. The 2026 fundraising goal is $400,000, with $351,673 reported raised at the time of this listing. Volunteer opportunities are available around the in-person race dates.
