There will be volunteers and arrows to guide you. Follow the boardwalk along the water until the turnaround, where water will be available. Poured water will also be available in the festival area before and after the walk. Please note that the boardwalk will be open for everyday use, including cyclists, joggers, and other walkers, during our walk. Be courteous and make way for them when possible.

Each walker will be given one complimentary ticket with their event materials, and additional tickets will be available for purchase during the event for $1 each or an arm’s length for $10. All tickets must be turned in at the Ovarian Cancer Alliance booth to be eligible for the raffle. The raffle winners will be announced beginning at 9:10 AM from the main stage, and all winners must be present to win. Check out this year’s awesome raffle prizes and silent auction items here!

Looking for a relaxing spot in the shade? Enjoy our large resting tent, just to the left of the stage.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Our walk raises funds to support outreach programs aimed at raising awareness of ovarian cancer, the most lethal gynecologic cancer. Currently, there is no screening test for the early detection of ovarian cancer, and the overall 5-year survival rate is only 45%. However, when detected early, the survival rate is over 90%!
