Rain couldn't stop an incredible weekend of community, encouragement and purpose at the Sentara Crawlin' Crab Half Marathon & 5K! ๐ง๏ธ๐
Runners, walkers, volunteers and supporters showed up in a big way for this sold-out event, helping raise awareness and support for breast cancer care. Together with our partners at J&A Racing, we celebrated survivors, honored loved ones and cheered on participants who crossed the finish line despite the wet weather.
This year's event welcomed a sold-out field of 4,000 participants across three race distances, representing a 20% increase over last year's event. Through the inaugural Crawlin' for a Cure campaign, participants donated to support breast health services, and with J&A Racing matching those contributions, more than $6,000 was raised for the Sentara Foundation and the Dorothy G. Hoefer Comprehensive Breast Center.
Throughout the weekend, attendees connected with teams from the Dorothy G. Hoefer Comprehensive Breast Center, visited Sentara's mobile mammography unit, met with physical therapy and cancer education experts, and shared messages of hope and encouragement that will be displayed in our cancer care locations.
Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered and helped make this event so meaningful. ๐
