Fundraisers braved soggy conditions in Tilgate Park to walk, jog or run five kilometres to raise cash for the cancer charity.
Organisers of the fun run, which was one of 260 events nationwide, said they hoped to smash last year's total of 163,000.
Crawley's Race for Life event manager, Carly Gibbs, said: "The women of Crawley deserve a really big thank you for creating such a great atmosphere and helping make the event so special.
"I hope everyone who took part in Race for Life at Tilgate Park really enjoyed themselves – everyone was in a party mood on the day and it looked like everyone had a fantastic time.
"By taking part in Race for Life the women of Crawley pledged their support to help us beat cancer – a disease that will affect on-in-three people in the UK at some stage in their lives.
"But this will only be possible if we raise enough money to help fund more of our life-saving research.
"The event itself may be over, but now it is vital that everyone makes one final effort by returning their sponsorship money as soon as possible to help us cross the fundraising finish line."
