The Greensboro fitness community will come together on March 21, 2026, for the third annual Otis & Wawa Kilometers Over Cancer Tournament Trot, a community-driven fitness festival aimed at raising awareness and support for earlier detection of breast cancer.
Held at 2409 W. Gate City Blvd. in Greensboro, the event invites participants of all fitness levels to get involved through a variety of activities, including a one-mile run or walk, high-energy HIIT workout, and a yoga session. The event blends movement, community, and purpose while celebrating Greensboro’s vibrant fitness culture during the height of ACC Tournament season.
The mission of Kilometers Over Cancer is two-fold: to support earlier detection for breast cancer and to empower women through movement and community engagement. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit Earlier.org — Friends for an Earlier Breast Cancer Test®, the nation’s only nonprofit organization solely dedicated to identifying a biological test for earlier detection of breast cancer.
“Greensboro hosts major sporting events every spring with the ACC Tournament, and we wanted to create something that combines the excitement of sports with a meaningful cause,” said the event organizer of Otis & Wawa. “This event brings together local gyms, run clubs, and wellness partners to support women’s health and highlight the power of community.”
Participants can choose from several ways to get involved:
1-Mile Fun Run/Walk — Open to runners, walkers, and families (dogs welcome)HIIT Workout Session — Led by ISI Elite Training Greensboro and MXTYoga Session — Hosted by Greensboro Power StudiosSupport a Survivor Option — For those who want to contribute but cannot attend
The event also features support from several local organizations and businesses, including IMPAQT GSO, HealthTeam Advantage, Whole Foods, and multiple fitness partners and contributors across the Triad.
Local run groups such as Vamos Run Club and Central Connect will also participate, further strengthening the event’s goal of bringing the Greensboro fitness community together.
In addition to promoting physical wellness, Kilometers Over Cancer aims to educate participants about the importance of earlier breast cancer detection and provide opportunities for the community to take action in supporting lifesaving research.
“Events like this remind us that fitness can be about more than personal goals,” Wawa added. “It can be about showing up for each other and making an impact.”
Registration is now open, and community members are encouraged to sign up, gather their workout partners, and take part in this meaningful event.
