关于赛事

The Hare and Tortoise 8K/5K Run Walk, 1 Mile Fun Run

The Sixteenth Annual Karene O’Hare/Bitsy Whitten Ovarian Cancer Memorial Run is scheduled for Saturday, September 23, on the Capital Trail in partnership with the Williamsburg Community Foundation; a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt non-profit organization tax, identification number 54-1927558.  This Memorial Run is the only annual fundraising program that supports Ovarian Cancer screening, treatment and education for uninsured and under-insured women in the greater Williamsburg community.

The O’Hare/Whitten families sponsor this Run to raise money to combat Ovarian Cancer in memory of Karene O’Hare and Bitsy Whitten who were victims of the disease.  Since 2009, over $277,000 has been distributed to help underwrite the Ovarian Cancer programs offered by the Lackey Clinic and the Olde Towne Medical & Dental Center to their patients.

In November 2016, we established an Ovarian Cancer Endowment Fund at the Williamsburg Community Foundation as a permanent source of income for this cause. The Fund provides donation sustainability to build and strengthen the significant Ovarian Cancer health care that Lackey and Olde Towne provide for our community.  The money raised by the annual Run is deposited into the Endowment Fund and invested.  As of January 2024, the value of the Endowment Fund has grown to over $377,000

We encourage you to support this fundraiser and sign up to run or walk the event in person on Sept. 23rd, 2023.  This year we bring back the 8K and move the event to James City County and the Virginia Capital Trail.  The 8K Run and 8K Competitive Walk are Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix races.  All races will start and finish near the zero mile marker on the Virginia Capital Trail.  The one mile Fun Run starts at 8 AM, the 8K at 8:30AM and the 5K at 8:40 AM.   All participants receive a custom race T, entry into the post race party and for those 21 and over a complimentary beer.
