Crush N' Run

The Crush N' Run 5K is an annual charity beach run held in Virginia Beach, VA, with its 10th edition scheduled for April 18, 2026. Participants run the original beach and boardwalk course starting near 712 Atlantic Avenue. The event is hosted by local establishments including Waterman’s Surfside Grille, Chix on the Beach, and The Shack on 8th, who sponsor the race to raise funds through this popular community event.

After completing the 5K, runners are invited to an after-party at The Shack where they can redeem a free Orange Crush drink, adding a festive and social atmosphere to the race day experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
