    RACE POSTPONED TO 2027

    We regret to inform you that the 2026 Dash for Detection: Oral Cancer Awareness 5K has been canceled. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were unable to secure the necessary credentialing to move forward with the event this year.

    All registered participants will receive a full refund of their race registration fees within the next few weeks. No further action is needed on your end.

    While this is not the news we hoped to share, please know that our commitment to raising awareness for oral cancer and supporting those currently battling the disease—as well as honoring those we have lost—remains unwavering. We are already exploring alternative options and beginning preparations to ensure the 2027 race is even bigger and better than ever.

    Thank you for your understanding, continued support, and belief in the mission of Dash for Detection.

    Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns,

    All my best,
