Run with Mary 5k

The Run with Mary 5k is a charitable running event taking place in Elizabeth City, NC, aimed at raising funds for pancreatic cancer research. Established in memory of Mary Morrison Gillam, who bravely battled the disease, the event has successfully raised nearly $80,000 for the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina, where Mary received care. Participants can register for a fee, with children under 10 running for free.

Each registration includes a small swag bag, and while the event is not officially timed, it encourages community spirit and support for cancer research. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
