Description

Our Strength in Colors 5K will be held on Sunday, July 31st, at McNamara Park in Galena (7049 Big Walnut Rd Galena, OH US 43021)! We are excited to offer a Kid’s Dash for the 8 and under age group which will run at approximately 8:45 a.m. followed by the 9:00 a.m. start of the 5K. Both races will offer virtual and in-person registrations so anyone, anywhere can participate!

The purpose of The Crawford Crew's 5K is to Raise Awareness of HPV-Related Cancers, educate the community about prevention, and to support those in need of cancer screenings and emotional support.

According to the CDC, each year, about 36,500 new cases of cancer are associated with HPV: about 21,400 in women and 15,100 in men (there are 6 types of these cancers). All HPV-related cancers are preventable. Screenings, annual exams, education and the HPV vaccine are prevention!
