Runners, families and supporters will gather Sept. 26 for the 19th annual GO Run, an event that raises money for gynecologic cancer research at the USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute.

Presented by the Catranis Family Charitable Foundation, the GO Run will take place from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday at University of South Alabama Hancock Whitney Stadium, 500 Stadium Drive in Mobile.

Proceeds support research at the Mitchell Cancer Institute focused on early detection, prevention and treatment of gynecologic cancers. Organizers credit the event's long-standing community support with helping advance that work.

Participants can compete in a 5K or take part in the Fun Run. Awards for the 5K will go to the top male and female overall finishers as well as the top male and female masters, grandmasters, senior grandmasters, race walkers and adaptive athletes.

The top three male and female finishers in each age group also will receive prizes. Age groups are 9 and under, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79 and 80 and older.

The top male and female Fun Run finishers will receive awards, while all Fun Run participants who finish will receive a ribbon.

Teams can compete for awards including Highest Fundraising Team, Most Team Spirit, Best Dressed Team and Largest Team. Participants can join an existing team or create a new one during registration.

The event also will feature post-race activities for participants and families. Sponsor booths, food and beverages will be available after the race, along with a kids' area featuring inflatables.

Attendees can take advantage of free health services during the event, including onsite skin screenings provided by the Mitchell Cancer Institute as well as self-collected HPV testing and genetic testing provided by Southern Research.

StretchLab also will offer free post-race stretches to help participants recover after the event.
