Our Annual Mother’s Day Time to Teal event is back for 2023! Join us in beautiful Ann Arbor, Michigan and everywhere virtually on Sunday, May 14, 2023 at 8am. This race is an opportunity for us to gather to celebrate the incredible women in our lives for Mother's Day and raise crucial ovarian cancer awareness in our community.

We are honored to continue the tradition of this race created by Pam Dahlmann, the co-founder of MIOCA, who lost her mother to the disease and wanted a way to celebrate her memory on Mother’s Day and for others to do the same. Our intention with this event is to raise awareness of this under-researched cancer and to honor those lost to the disease. Sadly, Geri Fournier, co-founder of MIOCA, whose memory this honors, lost her battle in 2011. The event continues today to honor her spirit and bring together survivors, supporters and those who have been impacted by ovarian cancer.

PLEASE NOTE: This race is not affiliated with Epic Races Goddess Run.

All proceeds from this race benefit MIOCA.
