The 12th Annual Run Jen Run 5K and Festival will occur at the beautiful Symphony Park in SouthPark. All proceeds benefit the Go Jen Go Foundation, a non-profit organization providing hope and critical support to families in the greater Charlotte area who are facing the financial burden of a breast cancer diagnosis.

The funds help cover household expenses including housing, utilities, transportation, and groceries/necessities. Go Jen Go was founded by Joe & Jen Pagani, a Charlotte mom and Ironman athlete who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2014. Her legacy continues as we help cover the day-to-day finances so families can focus on their fight against breast cancer.

In addition to the 5K and Fun Run, we have a festival afterward with music, a Kids' Fun Zone full of games, bounce houses, and fun! We will have adult beverages (for those 21 years or older), local food vendors, and community-driven sponsors showcasing their businesses.

Breast cancer survivors and thrivers will receive VIP treatment in the Survivor/Thriver Corner. This area is dedicated to celebrating them and gives them a space to relax, feel supported, and connect with one another.

Your support of the Run Jen Run 5K & Festival helps Go Jen Go provide much-needed funds and hope to over 75 local breast cancer patients each month.
