You may be faster than you think! A post race measurement proved the course to be 44 feet long. That might not be much for a race of more than 16,000 feet but it could save you a few seconds on your final time. Go to the results page to see your updated time.

Winners of the 2013 Dr. James H. Crowdis Run were Chase Harris (17:31) and Paige Braswell (21:11), both of Bainbridge. Go to our results page for an overall list of times and places.

The 17th Dr. James H. Crowdis Run 5k race will be Saturday, July 13th. Our theme will be "Christmas in July." This year's event will feature team competition in addition to individual competition.

In keeping with our Christmas in July theme, participants are encouraged to donate a new, unwrapped toy to be donated to "Toys for Tots." A drop box will be set up at the registration area. 

Bring Us Your Shoes!!
Did your last shoe purchase not fit after the first twenty miles? Do they clash with your favorite running outfit? Do you blame your shoes for your recent slow times? Get rid of them...and bring them to the Dr. Crowdis Run to be donated to oneworldrunning.

Donate to Heart Fund

CHRISTMAS IN JULY CONCERT to follow race. Country, bluegrass and gospel musicians will entertain participants of the Dr. Crowdis Run from 10am until 12 noon following the race. The public is welcome to attend at no cost. A love offering will be accepted.

Water, Water, Everywhere
As of this writing we've accumulated 17 inches of rain in Blakely during the past eleven days so you might not be interested in containers which hold water but we hope you'll enjoy receiving a squeeze bottle of water when you cross the finish line of the Dr. Crowdis Run. Pioneer Community Hospital of Early has donated one hundred water bottles which means if you finish among the top one hundred you'll be handed a Pioneer bottle full of water.

The video production class at Early County High School has produced an excellent 20-minute DVD of the 2012 Dr. James H. Crowdis Run.

We appreciate their efforts and encourage you to support these students by purchasing a DVD. We promise you will enjoy this video.
