Teal Power 5K Run and 3K Walk

The 20th Annual Teal Power 5K Run & Charity Walk

Saturday, September  19, 2026

The Teal Power 5K Run and 3K Walk is a fun event for Ovarian Cancer Awareness hosted by the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Greater Cincinnati honoring those touched by this disease. The event is open to men, women, and children of all ages, and of all experience levels. Some participants run or walk in honor or memory of someone, some are survivors, and some just enjoy getting out and supporting an awesome cause!

COURSE: Our event is at Summit Park, Blue Ash, OH. GPS coordinates:  39.250255, -84.386898 .   Courses Start and Finish near the main stage and wind through Summit Park. See the course maps under the RACE INFO menu. Most of the course is paved, but there is one section that is a dirt trail.

SURVIVORS: If you are a survivor (any woman who has been diagnosed with ovarian or gynecological cancer), join us as our honorary guest. Your registration will be free. You must register to get a special T-shirt and gift. Gather for a special Survivor picture at 9:15am at the balloon arch and sign up for the free Survivor Raffle at the OCAGC booth!

HONOR SIGNS: Honor a loved one that has battled or is currently battling Ovarian Cancer. For a $35.00 donation we will place a sign recognizing the recipient along the course to encourage all the walkers and runners as we fight this disease together. Honor signs can be added to individual registrations or purchased through the STORE.

ACTIVITIES: Booths will open from 8:30am – 10:00am. We will have booths with ovarian cancer support information and vendors. There will also be raffles, an appearance by Rosie Red, music by Seton High School Vocal Ensemble, a Power Pets booth and other activities. Cash and credit card are accepted where needed.

RESERVE A VENDOR BOOTH: Share your information or products with our participants by having a booth at the event. In 2025, we had approximately 1,600 people at the park during our event. Vendors will have a festival type booth with boards on 3 sides, canopy roof, one table, and chairs. Reserve your booth at the RESERVE A VENDOR BOOTH Menu Tab.
