UToledo Health DCC Annual Breast Cancer Awareness 5K and Fun Run

Lace up your running shoes for a cause at the UToledo Health DCC Annual Breast Cancer Awareness 5K and Fun Run on Sunday, October 18, 2026, in Toledo, OH. This uplifting community event, hosted at the Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center, offers participants a choice between a timed 3.1-mile (5K) course and a 1-mile fun run loop. The scenic route guides runners and walkers through the beautiful UTMC Health Science Campus, providing a pleasant backdrop for a meaningful morning. Typical race day conditions in mid-October bring comfortable highs around 63°F and lows around 44°F, with only a 10% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, this event is a powerful platform for breast cancer awareness and early detection. Participants are encouraged to don their best pink attire to show support for the cause. Before the 5K and Fun Run commence at 10 AM, from 9 AM to 10 AM, guests can visit informational tables offering valuable mammogram screening information and other essential breast health resources. This family-friendly gathering is a wonderful opportunity to promote wellness, community spirit, and vital awareness in the fight against breast cancer.
