Ellen’s Run, an annual 5k (3.1mile) race, is the signature fundraising event of The Ellen Hermanson Foundation and an innovative, grassroots event, that raises awareness about breast cancer. Held on the East End of Long Island, where breast cancer diagnosis and mortality rates are among the highest in New York, Ellen’s Run draws on the strength of the community and gives back by providing breast cancer screenings support and education.

The First Annual Ellen’s Run attracted more than 500 participants and raised more than $62,000—an astonishing success for a first time event. By the third year, the amount of money raised had more than doubled. By its fourth year, Ellen's Run had become the largest race on the South Fork, with nearly 900 registered participant . As we approach our 28th year, Ellen’s Run has grown to over 1,000 participants and The Ellen Hermanson Foundation has awarded more than $6 million in grants over the course of the last 28 years.
