The shoreline will turn teal once again as the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation hosts its 10th Annual Sandy Sprint 5K on Saturday, July 18, 2026, in Sea Isle City.
The milestone event brings together runners, walkers, survivors, families, and supporters for a meaningful morning dedicated to raising awareness and funding critical ovarian cancer research. Participants of all ages are encouraged to lace up their sneakers and join the community in honoring loved ones, celebrating survivors, and supporting those impacted by ovarian cancer.
Since its inception, the Sandy Sprint has become a beloved summer tradition at the Jersey Shore, combining fitness, community spirit, and philanthropy. Funds raised through the event help advance ovarian cancer research and support programs focused on awareness, education, and patient resources.
Organizers hope to make the 10th anniversary event the largest yet, welcoming both seasoned runners and casual walkers to participate. Whether racing for a personal best or simply showing support, every participant helps further the foundation’s mission of improving outcomes for those affected by ovarian cancer.
"The Sandy Sprint is more than a race—it's a powerful reminder of the strength of our community and the impact we can make together," organizers said.
Registration is now open, and participants are encouraged to sign up early, create fundraising teams, and spread the word throughout the region.

Sea Isle City turning turquoise for the cause sounds like a strong visual too—those kinds of traditions stick with people year after year. And the mix of runners, walkers, families, and survivors makes it feel less like a competition and more like everyone moving in the same direction for something important.
Events like this also show how local communities can actually drive awareness in a way big campaigns sometimes can’t. Even just showing up or walking the 2-mile route still counts in a real…
It's inspiring to see the Sandy Sprint 5K reach its 10th year while raising awareness and support for ovarian cancer research.
