Southcoast Health Cancer Care Nicole Podkowa 5k
The event is the 9th annual Southcoast Health Cancer Care Nicole Podkowa 5k, held on Sunday, October 4, 2026. The event offers both in-person and virtual participation and includes a separate Kid’s Dash for children ages 8 and under at no charge.
Participants may walk, run, or take part as volunteers. The event also seeks community committee members and peer-to-peer fundraisers to support its activities. In the previous year the event raised over $175,000 for the Nicole Podkowa Patient & Caregiver Fund.
The Nicole Podkowa Patient & Caregiver Fund provides direct assistance to patients treated at Southcoast Health Cancer Care and their families. Eligible uses listed for the fund include utility payments, food, housing, transportation, cancer-related supplies and other necessities that help reduce barriers to care.
Sponsors from local and regional organizations support the event through named sponsorship levels and specific contributions such as water stations and course support. The event is organized by Southcoast Health as part of its community and charitable activities to support patients and families affected by cancer.
