Join us for the Fight Back 5K — a community run/walk benefiting local cancer care through Adena Health Foundation. Every step helps support patients and families right here in our region.
About the event
The Fight Back 5K brings together community members, survivors, families, supporters, and caregivers to support cancer care close to home.
This family-friendly event is inspired by the many cancer awareness ribbons that represent the patients and families we serve. It’s open to everyone — whether you run, walk, or cheer others on.
Participants can enjoy a morning of community, celebration, and support, including:
- Speaker presentations
- Vendor booths
- Survivor recognition elements
- Raffle items
- Food trucks
- Live entertainment
