Grab your bucket hat and coconut water—join us for a tropical 5K adventure inspired by "Gilligan’s Island!" We’re running to raise awareness and support for Ovarian Cancer fighters, survivors, and research. Looking to go a shorter distance? Sign up for the S.S. Minnow Mile, a fun 1-mile event you can run or walk. New this year is the Island Stiletto Dash where we “Walk in her shoes, so she doesn't have to go it alone.” It’s a spirited, crowd-favorite portion of the walk where men & women step into stilettos in solidarity. It’s awkward and unforgettable! Dressing up is encouraged and we have some fun island-themed ideas in the works! Who will you come as... The Professor? Lovey? Marianne? An island native? The Celma Mastry Ovarian Cancer Foundation's One Step Closer race has been a tradition for 23 years! Grab your friends, coworkers, and family and run, jog, or walk in beautiful Downtown St. Petersburg and help provide financial assistance to local patients and support research, prevention, and education in the community! Participants will receive a medal, shirt, and post-race refreshments. Kick off the race season with us! Make sure to follow us on Facebook , for more race updates and information!
