You may be eligible for a free prostate cancer screening performed by a Chesapeake Urology physician at the St. Joseph Medical Center Cancer Institute Building. Eligible men may receive a free screening from 10 am-1 pm on race day. For eligibility questions or to make an appointment, call 410-337-1479.

*Eligible men must be aged 50-80, or age 40 or older if African American, or have a first-degree relative diagnosed with prostate cancer, and have not had a screening in the last 12 months.

All proceeds from these events go to the American Urological Association Foundation to improve awareness, offer screenings and fund prostate cancer research. Our dream is to help find a cure for prostate cancer. Take the challenge and join the fight against prostate cancer!
