Second Annual 5K Run/Walk for Beebe Heroes set July 11

Beebe Medical Foundation has partnered with Seashore Striders Delaware to host the Second Annual Beebe Heroes 5K Run/Walk. This year’s 3.1-mile race will be both live and virtual.

The live event will begin at 7:30 a.m., Sunday, July 11, at Irish Eyes in Lewes.

Awards will be presented to overall male and female champions, overall male and female masters (ages 40-plus), as well as the top three male and female finishers in multiple age categories through 80 years old. Award presentations will begin within 20 minutes of the final runner crossing the finish line.

For virtual participants, there will be no awards and results will not be included with the in-person race results. Virtual race times will be verified by participants sending an email to Race Director Tim Bamforth, with an attached selfie, as well as a close-up photo of their distance and time. Virtual results received will be included in the online race results.

Early pickup of race packets will be from 5 to 7 p.m., Saturday, July 10, at Irish Eyes in Lewes. Irish Eyes will also provide food and drink for the post-race event.

“Last year’s inaugural race was a great success, and we are looking forward even more to this year’s live event,” said Tom Protack, president of Beebe Medical Foundation. “With over 100 participants already signed up, we are excited to host so many community supporters. Please join us, exercising on behalf of our Beebe Healthcare Heroes who are committed each day to providing us with safe and compassionate care. I look forward to seeing everyone on race day, and I would also like say a special thank you to all of our sponsors, especially many of our foundation board members and board of ambassadors!”
