The Katie Oppo Research Fund's
15TH ANNUAL #RunForKatie 5k
Fifteen years of impact. The 15th Annual #RunForKatie 5K marks a milestone in the fight against ovarian cancer, funding research and honoring Katie Oppo’s legacy. Every step forward brings us closer to breakthroughs that can save lives.


Join Team Katie and help support the 15th Annual 5k Fundraiser benefiting the Katie Oppo Research Fund
With your support, we are seeking to continue to deliver on our mission to increase awareness and fund research for the prevention, treatment, and cure of Small Cell Carcinoma of the Ovary Hypercalcemic Type (SCCOHT) – a rare and life-threatening disease – as well as all forms of ovarian cancer, in memory of our beloved Katie Oppo, who passed 15 years ago from SCCOHT.

Our Annual #RunForKatie takes place on June 8th, 2025!

This year’s Katie Oppo Research Fund 5K is more meaningful than ever—it’s our 15th anniversary! Join us at Flower Hill Village Park, Manhasset, NY (Bonnie Heights Road & Port Washington Blvd) at 9:00 AM, rain or shine! Our timed and certified 5K run is open to all participants—sign up solo or form a team to help raise funds for ovarian cancer research.
Tickets and sponsorships are available now, along with raffle tickets in advance! (Raffle eligibility requires one race participant ticket or sponsorship.) Let’s make this milestone year one to remember—sign up today!
