MT Hearts Memorial 5K

Join us for the inaugural MT Hearts Memorial 5K Run, 1-Mile Walk & Virtual Race on June 19, 2027, at Citrus High School in Inverness, Florida.
The event is held in loving memory of Marlene Tobin, a longtime Citrus County resident, dedicated teacher, and lifelong athlete who passed away from metastatic breast cancer on June 11, 2026. Marlene touched countless lives through her kindness, strength, and commitment to her family, students, and community. This race brings people together to celebrate her life while continuing her legacy of caring for others.

Whether you run, walk, or participate virtually, every registered participant will receive an official event shirt and custom finisher medal. Move with purpose while helping support metastatic breast cancer research and families in our local community.
