HILLTOP U.S.A. 5K - IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL
July 2, 2022
This event benefits Veterans on the Hilltop and provides an opportunity for exercise and community togetherness. Last year, we raised a record-breaking $6,190.25 for our hometown veterans.
$30 for our super comfy race shirts, gorgeous 4" medals highlighting the United States Air Force, and a chance for finisher prizes?! We want our race to be accessible to all residents, and so have worked with our local business partners to be able to offer pricing that is a little less than a typical 5K.
The famous Hilltop U.S.A. race shirts and medals are BACK! All participants will receive a race shirt and all finishers will receive a fantastic custom Hilltop U.S.A. finisher medal.

DIABETES DASH 5K - IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL
July 24, 2022
The Diabetes Dash 5K came to be a short time after Ryan Washburn was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in July 2018. After diagnosis, Ryan became very interested in the work of JDRF and knew he wanted to do his part in spreading awareness, giving hope to those dealing with the disease, and fighting for a cure. Not only is our mission to help fund the research efforts to someday find a cure, but we also want to educate the community about Type 1 Diabetes. Proceeds will be donated to JDRF - Southern & Central Ohio Chapter and a scholarship fund of $1,000 will be awarded to a Westerville City School graduating senior living with T1D in 2023.
We would love to have those who are unable to attend on race day join us virtually! Sign up for the virtual 5K and the Diabetes Dash will come to YOU!

The purpose of The Crawford Crew's 5K is to Raise Awareness of HPV-Related Cancers, educate the community about prevention, and 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!
