WILDWOOD CREST – Wildwood Crest Board of Commissioners decided to cancel the 2023 Crest Best Run Fest, saying they had no race director and could not pull the event together themselves.
Mayor Don Cabrera said DelMo Sports, which had previously served as the director/organizer of the event that began in 2018, was unable to be the event director this year.
The inaugural event included a 5K and Kids Race, followed by 5-mile and 10-mile races the next day. In 2019, the first day included a 5-mile race, Kids Race, Doggie Derby, and 5K race (3.1 miles). The second day included a 10-mile foot race.
Cabrera said DelMo Sports could do the timing this year, but that was all.
“Should we give it a break this year?” Cabrera asked.
Commissioner Joseph Schiff said he agreed it might be best to postpone the event until 2024.
“It’s a heavy lift for the borough itself – we’re not race directors,” he said.
Commissioner Joseph Franco concurred with the others, adding, “The schools should be involved.”
