Strides of Strength 2026

Strides of Strength Walk & Run + Community Festival
Sunday, May 3, 2026

Join us for the Second Annual Strides of Strength Walk & Run, a morning of movement, community, and hope in support of women beginning their cancer journey.

Strides of Strength brings together survivors, families, friends, and neighbors to walk and run in solidarity with women undergoing treatment who are experiencing medical hair loss. Funds raised through this event help EBeauty provide free wigs and community support programs to women in our region and across the country.

Whether you choose to walk or run, participants are invited to move at their own pace, knowing that every step helps a woman begin treatment with dignity and confidence.

Join a growing community of walkers and runners supporting women facing cancer — and consider inviting a friend or family member to walk with you.

Walk or Run in Honor of Someone

Many participants dedicate their walk or run in honor or memory of someone who has faced cancer.

You may choose to walk for someone you love, celebrate survivorship, or support women beginning treatment today. Many walkers invite friends or family to walk in honor of the same person, creating a meaningful moment of community and remembrance.

Join Us From Anywhere

While our community gathers on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, supporters across the country can participate as Virtual Walkers or Runners.

Register, take a walk or run in your own neighborhood on May 3rd (or anytime that week), and share your participation as part of the Strides of Strength community.

Community Square Festival

After the walk, participants are invited to stay and enjoy our Community Square Festival featuring music, activities, food, and beverages — a chance to celebrate together and connect with others who believe that no woman should face cancer alone.
