About the event

Join Us in the Pursuit of a Cure at the Lookin' For A Cure 5K!

Every year, Lookin' For A Cure 5k events light up cities across the United States. These events are not just about running, they are about igniting awareness, and unity in the fight against Ocular Melanoma. By participating, you're not only support groundbreaking research but also bringing together individuals affected by Ocular Melanoma.

A Partnership for Progress

A Cure In Sight collaborates with leading research facilities and dedicated physicians that specialize in Ocular Melanoma treatment. Together, we channel the net proceeds from these events into ongoing research projects and patient support programs. Your involvement directly contributes to advancing the quest for a cure.

Your Steps Matter

Come be a part of "Lookin' For a Cure" in the serene surroundings of Al Lopez Park in Tampa. On Saturday, March 14th, from 8 am to 11 am, join A Cure In Sight for a walk or run that goes beyond the scenic beauty. Together, we'll take steps to combat Ocular Melanoma, a rare eye cancer that is diagnosed in approximately 3,000 new cases each year across the United States. Bring your friends and family—all ages are welcome to walk or run with us.

Experience Beauty While You Run

Embark on a beautiful, picturesque journey through Al Lopez Park. The race unfolds on a scenic looped course, offering you a unique opportunity to connect with nature while contributing to a noble cause.
