Bra-ha-ha 5K

Lace up for a meaningful morning at the Bra-ha-ha 5K, set for Saturday, September 12, 2026, in Chesapeake, Virginia. This inspiring 3.1-mile event offers a unique opportunity to combine fitness with a powerful community impact. Starting and finishing at the Jennings Outpatient Center, the course features three loops behind the Chesapeake Regional campus, providing a clear and accessible route for all participants. While a detailed course map will be available closer to race day, the multi-lap format suggests a friendly, perhaps flatter, terrain suitable for setting a personal best or enjoying a leisurely walk.

More than just a race, the Bra-ha-ha 5K is a cherished tradition, kicking off the Bra-ha-ha season of breast cancer awareness. Every stride you take helps fund free mammograms and vital breast health services for uninsured and underinsured individuals in the Hampton Roads community, directly contributing to life-saving care. Runners and walkers can expect an uplifting and energetic atmosphere, complete with a lively vendor village and a dedicated kid zone, making it a fantastic event for the entire family.

Participants will be rewarded for their efforts with a commemorative 5K medal and an official event T-shirt, with first-place trophies awarded to the top male, female, and youth (12 and under) finishers. Typical race day conditions in mid-September include highs around 81°F and lows around 66°F, with a low 13% chance of precipitation, creating a generally pleasant environment for your run or walk. Join fellow runners in Chesapeake for a memorable morning of movement, camaraderie, and significant charitable giving.
