Tampa Bay 5K & Fun Run : Al Lopez Park

The Tampa Bay 5K & Fun Run is scheduled for October 24, 2026, at Al Lopez Park, 4810 N Himes Avenue, Tampa, FL. The event is presented as a community gathering to honor people living with metastatic breast cancer, remember those who have died, and raise funds for research through METAvivor Research & Support, Inc. The listing states that 100% of net proceeds benefit METAvivor, an organization dedicated exclusively to funding metastatic breast cancer research.

The event program includes an opening ceremony, a 5K and a separate fun run, and a post-race community celebration with sponsors, music, kids activities, refreshments, and recognition of survivors and thrivers. Registration items listed include an official event T-shirt while supplies last, a finisher medal, a race bib, and post-race refreshments.

The event description also presents several metastatic breast cancer facts: approximately 30% of early stage breast cancer survivors may have a recurrence as metastatic disease; metastases can appear months to decades after treatment; global annual deaths from metastatic breast cancer are cited; and current survival statistics for U.S. MBC patients are noted. The listing frames the event as a fundraiser, community remembrance, and a way to support research into improving outcomes for people affected by metastatic breast cancer.
