13th Annual Run Jen Run 5K & Festival
March 8, 2025
Join us at Run Jen Run and help support local families facing the financial burden of a breast cancer diagnosis.
All proceeds benefit the Go Jen Go Foundation, a non-profit organization providing hope and critical support to families in the greater Charlotte area.
The funds help cover household expenses including housing, utilities, transportation, and groceries/necessities. In addition, the foundation provides family support, sending children to camp and delivering gifts during the holiday season. 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.
How You Can Make An Impact
Register to run (or walk!) at our in-person event on March 8, 2025, at Symphony Park. Your participation helps raise critical funds for our Grants program helping local breast cancer patients.
The event features a 5K, Fun Run, a festival with music, and a family fun zone full of games and bounce houses. There will also be local food vendors, beverages, and community-driven sponsors showcasing their businesses.
Create A Team
Ask your family, friends, and co-workers to join you by creating a team! Awards will be presented to the Largest Team and Top Fundraising Team on Race Day.

Donations make a huge impact! With your financial support, we can assist all of the eligible breast cancer patients as soon as they need it! Click here to donate, or you have the choice to donate to a participant of the event.
Survivors & Thrivers
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.
Jen's Garden of Hope
Jen's Garden of Hope is where you can see Signs of Hope purchased in memory of or in honor of loved ones who are battling breast cancer, are in remission, and those who have passed away. You can purchase Signs of Hope to be part of the garden and take your sign with you after the race.
