The race will be held in honor of all friends, family, and community members who have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

ALL PROCEEDS will be donated to the MetaVivor Research and Support Program, a local organization that continues to support women and men with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in the Greater Annapolis area, as well as support outreach, awareness, and research for the disease.

What’s a Ta-Ta Chaser?

A Ta-Ta Chaser is for both male and female runners alike, and is our way of bringing the entire community together for the cause!

All female participants will be released at 9:00am, and male participants will be released exactly THREE MINUTES AFTER the females! Men – chase em’ down with all you got, and don’t let your ladies cross the finish line before you do!

As always, our Fun Runs are FREE to the community, however, we are asking that participants make a donation as their entry fee to our beneficiary. We want to bring attention to local causes and give back to the community that has given so much to us. So, we are asking that all participants please make a $5 - $10 donation as their entry fee. 100% of proceeds will go to METAVivor Research and Support Program.

To register for the event, simply sign up here.

This event will not be officially timed, but we will have a finisher’s clock at the start to time your run.
