Join us as we celebrate Ostomy Awareness Day 2023 with the Virtual Ostomy 5k and in-person events around the country October 7 and 14, 2023. The Ostomy 5k event is a key fundraiser to support the programs and services of United Ostomy Associations of America, Inc. (UOAA)
Run, Walk, Roll or Pedal in your own neighborhood or park, or if you feel more comfortable at home, hop on your treadmill, in support of ostomy awareness. Ask your family, friends or support group members to join you by creating your own RUN TEAM! It’s an easy step to create one after you’ve registered for the event.
NEW! Raise $100 or more ($125 for timed runs in NC and PA) and your Registration Fee will be refunded!
REGISTRATION INCLUDES T-SHIRT & BIB
Your registration fee includes a unique Ostomy Awareness Day T-Shirt and Bib. Your preferred t-shirt size is not guaranteed due to limited remaining supply.
Registration will remain open through the day of the event location registration tables.
