Sharsheret West Coast Dash – 5K/10K/Family Fun Race

On Sunday, September 15, 2024, Sharsheret will gather on Dockweiler Beach for our Third Annual West Coast Dash in support of our breast and ovarian cancer work.

Our run/walk will include a new route and will have a 5K, 10K, Family Fun Race, and Event Festival. There is a virtual option available.

All ages, abilities and strollers welcome.

Check out what people are saying about Sharsheret and the West Coast Dash!

Why this race? Why now?

Whether it touched your mom, your best friend, your brother or even you, Sharsheret
knows that breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and hereditary risk for cancer are family issues.
Join us when we gather our community on the beach for a morning of fun and fitness for our 3rd annual race.
