Every step counts towards ovarian cancer research

What is Lena’s Run for Life? 

Lena’s Run for Life is our annual charity race to raise funds for ovarian cancer research. It takes place every year in September. Everyone can participate – young or old.

 

You can participate virtually or take part in one of our local events.
All we ask you to do is dedicate just one hour to run, walk or cycle
and let us know the distance covered.

 

Our goal is to rack up enough kilometers to make a lap around the
earth and show our support for women everywhere.

There are races that require months of planning, gear preparation, and physical effort.  
And then there’s Lena’s Run for Life – a race where we come together, wherever we are, to walk, run, or bike for one hour, entirely at our own pace.  
Most importantly, every single cent goes directly to ovarian cancer research, rather than into a costly event. This race isn’t about breaking records, it’s about truly making a difference."
