About The Race

Join Zebra Crossings for the 14th Annual Moms On The Run 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, May 10, 2020. Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are invited to join this family friendly event. This day celebrates mothers and we encourage you to join us in honor of someone special or for mothers everywhere!

The proceeds of this event will benefit Zebra Crossings empowerment programs for youth and teens with chronic medical conditions. We thank our 2019 event underwriter, Dover Physical Therapy, for their continued support! We welcome new sponsors for 2020!

Theme it! Dazzle Us!

Did you know a group of zebras is called a “Dazzle”? On race day, dazzle the crowd by making your herd stand out. Be as creative as you like- unite your “herd” with patterns, colors, or full costumes! Swing by our judges table and make sure they have seen you. Prizes will be awarded for the most creative herds!

GET TO KNOW US

Each child is unique, but they also have a lot in common and can relate to each other because of their conditions. On their own, they often stand out in their communities because of their perceived limitations or needs. However, in our community, we find strength in numbers and feel empowered. The Zebra Crossings team is committed to furthering this mission.

“I am not sure there are many places where there are such kind, caring people. It is also a place where others have chronic illnesses, some the same as yours. It makes it a lot of fun to just talk and relate to someone that you can’t necessarily do at school.”

- Teen participant

“Zebra Crossings is a fun place where you can go and feel safe because they understand how you feel. You get to express yourself and experience all kinds of things and nothing holds you back.”

- Luke, age 10

“It is an amazing experience to not feel alone in the world. To meet and share some wonderful kid stories has given me and my family so much hope for the future”

- Family Camp Parent

“Before camp my son was embarrassed to go to the nurse. He wouldn’t take meds before gym, and then tried to hide his asthma symptoms and chest/lung pain.” Since camp, my son has been willing to take albuterol before gym class, has been more confident and willing to participate in groups with active outdoor activities.”

- Asthma Camp Parent

“Zebra Crossings has given my children a power they never would have learned to unleash. Here, they feel accepted, encouraged and understood. They are taught that what they believe to be their inadequacies, can really be the fire that burns inside of them and makes them a stronger, more courageous, and joyous person. Truly, Zebra Crossings has changed our lives for the better.”

- Thaia Katsos
