Description
MIOCA is proud to present our annual Mother’s Day Time to Teal Run/Walk on Sunday, May 10, 2026!
Gather your family and friends for this special Mother’s Day tradition that brings people together to celebrate the incredible women in our lives, while raising crucial ovarian cancer awareness in our community
Both the 5K and one-mile Fun Run/Walk invites participants of all ages and abilities!
The fun includes:
- Chip-timed 5K bibs
- Awesome swag you’ll love
- Courses that welcome runners, walkers, and strollers
- Awards for top finishers and fundraising prizes
- A joyful, supportive atmosphere honoring the amazing women in our lives
The Time to Teal Run/Walk was inspired by MIOCA co-founder Pam Dahlmann, who sought a meaningful way to honor her mother's memory, Geri Fournier, on Mother’s Day. We are honored to continue this tradition in her name.
Each year, this event brings together mothers, daughters, families, and friends to reflect, remember, and celebrate together while recognizing the impact ovarian cancer has had on so many lives.
Please note: the exact location of the 2026 Time to Teal Run/Walk is still being finalized. The event will be held in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area, with details to be shared once confirmed.
All proceeds from this race benefit the Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance.

THIS YEAR'S SWAG
Race t-shirts must be purchased through RunSignUp by Monday, April 20th. These shirts will NOT be available at the race though we will have other MIOCA swag and awareness items available for purchase.
FUNDRAISING
Individual Fundraiser: Everyone can create an "individual fundraiser" when signing up for Time To Teal. You can choose to raise money yourself or be a part of a team fundraiser. You have to have an individual fundraiser set up to join a Team Fundraiser.
Team Fundraiser: Fundraising teams are groupings of individual fundraisers working together to raise money.
How to JOIN a Team Fundraiser:
- An individual fundraiser is required to join a Team Fundraiser.
- On the "Become a Fundraiser" page, choose a Team Fundraiser from the list in the drop down menu, create your own Team Fundraiser, or skip this step to keep your fundraiser as an individual fundraiser.
- If an individual fundraiser is part of a Team Fundraiser, the individual should share their individual fundraising link. The donation amount will count towards the individual's total, and the team total.
- If just the Team Fundraiser link is shared with donors, then the donation will only count towards the team fundraiser total.
