Over the past few months, the O.K. 10k team has been on tour, taking our message across Oxfordshire, visiting local parkruns to spread the word about O.K.10k and our mission. From Abingdon and Oxford University Parks, to Harcourt Hill, Witney and Carterton, we've loved meeting runners, walkers, volunteers and families along the way.

Last years O.K. 10k raised almost £30,000. This was a mix of the entry fees and also individuals getting sponsorship to take part. 100% of the registration fee and individuals sponsorship will go directly to our charitable mission: to award grants to neuroendocrine cancer research and awareness projects. Following discussion with other Neuroendocrine Cancer charities we have decided to combine funds raised in 2026 with those raised in 2025, this will enable us to support a

The very first O.K.10k in October 2025 was a huge success and raised a total of £28,750.75 (excluding Gift Aid and VAT). This money will be donated by way of a grant to a carefully chosen project related to Neuroendocrine Endocrine Carcinoma and we, the Olivia Kazimiera Foundation for Neuroendocrine Cancer, will closely monitor progress of it. None of this would have happened without the help and generosity of our sponsors, participants, and volunteers. THANK YOU! We only w

It means the world. 🎉 Olivia wanted a fun and inclusive event, and it certainly was both of those things.
