Mighty Moose 5k Run/Walk for Ovarian Cancer

How to Participate In This Year’s Virtual Race

Due to the Covid pandemic, our 3rd Annual Mighty Moose 5k race will look different. This year’s race will be held virtually, which will enable us to include our friends and family both locally and across the globe. Basically, you can run or walk a 5k (or a 1-mile race for young kids - up to you!) whenever and wherever you choose during our designated race window dates.

In addition, we’ve made the following changes to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate.

1.  Waived all registration fees for 2020

There is no registration fee to participate in this year’s race. All you need to do is to register online to participate and fundraise. Please consider a donation during the registration process to help support our mission. 

2.   Changed to a virtual format over a two-week period starting in late September

The race will be held virtually over a two-week window. You can run or walk a 5k whenever you choose during our designated race window dates. Our race window will start on our original race date of Sunday, September 27 and run through Sunday, October 11. You will receive a digital bib to print and, as we get closer, you’ll receive details regarding how to submit your race time if you choose to do so.

3.  Created optional individual fundraiser pages

With each registration, an individual fundraising website will be created in your name with default content about our cause. You will have the option to use this page/content to help us raise money via donations for this year’s race. Following your registration, you will receive an email with details regarding how you can customize your page, including ideas for soliciting donations and increasing your fundraising goal.

4.  Introduced option for creating or joining a fundraising team

During the registration process, you will also have the option to create your own fundraising team or join an existing fundraising team. This will enable you to pull a group together to raise money as a team to support our cause. This is a great opportunity to join your neighbors, gather your family and friends, re-engage with college buddies, or contacts from your past. How about a team of work colleagues or maybe your kids want to gather teammates, school friends, or extended family?

5. Included a “donation only” option

For those who are not interested in fundraising or participating in the race but want to support this critically important mission to prevent ovarian cancer, we included an option for a direct donation through the online registration process or the donate button. 

6. Signature Nike running hats available for purchase

This year, our signature Mighty Moose 5k Nike Running hats are available for sale at Brine's Sporting Goods in Concord for $25 including a new Charcoal color. Please visit Brine’s on Main Street in Concord or Click Here to order hats online.

Although you are not required to join a team and fundraise, we highly encourage you to join or form one and have fun with it! We’d love to see some friendly competition between teams to see who can raise the most money and have the most donors. We will also have awards for individual fundraisers!
