The Cholangiocarcinoma Crushers 5K is a community running event held in Winston Salem, NC on November 7, 2026. The event features a 5K running race and is organized to raise funds for cholangiocarcinoma research and to support patients living with bile duct cancer.
Cholangiocarcinoma is a form of bile duct cancer. It can be rare and aggressive, forming in the thin tubes that carry digestive fluid from the liver to the small intestine. It typically affects people over 50 and can remain undetected until advanced stages, when symptoms such as jaundice may appear. Treatment options mentioned include surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. About 15,000 people are diagnosed with this disease in the US each year.
Registration for the event opens April 29, 2026 and closes October 7, 2026. The registration fee is $30. Organizers also involve volunteers to support event operations and fundraising efforts.
Funds raised at the event are directed to efforts to find a cure and to improve quality of life for patients with cholangiocarcinoma. The event description focuses on community participation and financial support for research and patient care. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
