Jodi's Race was created to raise awareness of ovarian cancer and has grown to be so much more. Celebrating ALL gynecologic cancer survivors and caregivers, and honoring the 450 Colorado women we lose every year to gynecologic cancer are all a part of this special day. 

​

If you want to honor a loved one, we encourage you to create a Memorial Wreath that will be hung along the start / finish line of the race. These wreaths serve as a reminder of why we all work hard to raise awareness every day of the year.

​

You can purchase any type of wreath you'd like at a craft store (for instance, Michael's or JoAnn's). Most people typically use 12" grapevine wreaths. Then you just decorate it in any way you'd like! Many wreaths include a picture of the loved one, perhaps artificial flowers, maybe items that represent things they loved. For instance, one year we had a golf themed wreath. It's totally up to you. Then you bring the wreath to the memorial wreath table on race day morning, and they'll hang it on the fence for you.

​

We encourage people to take their wreath home with them after the end of the race (we have very little storage room at our office).
