The Alexandria Get Your Rear in Gear 5K brought unprecedented crowds to Fort Hunt Park, near Washington D.C. The Get Your Rear in Gear event included Tony’s Mile for a Miracle in remembrance of Tony Snow, former White House Press Secretary and broadcaster who passed away from colon cancer in 2008. Friends, family and community members came out in record numbers to support the cause. For the first time ever, race organizers had to close registration prior to the event due to exceptionally high interest. Media coverage of the event included video by Fox News where Snow had been a broadcaster for several years.

Fox News producer Griff Jenkins talked to his colleagues live from from Fort Hunt Park where he was participating in the day’s events. Jenkins, who sported a Get Your Rear in Gear t-shirt and yellow wristband honoring Tony Snow, discussed the Snow family’s support of the Colon Cancer Coalition and their efforts to raise awareness about the importance of colon cancer screening. Full race coverage and results will be online at GetYourRearinGear.com soon.
