RUNNERS:
The 5K Course will take you through the Penn campus on Locust Walk to Penn Park, and back. The 1 Mile Fun Run will go to the compass at 37th and Locust and back. The start and finish line will be on Locust Street, by the PAS playground. We are asking that runners do not bring pets or strollers on the 5K course and to train to be off the course by 9:20 AM to ensure a safe start to the 1 Mile Fun Run. Strollers for the 1 Mile Fun Run are welcome.
If you or your child have been diagnosed with a medical condition, like asthma, please use this link to make the race staff aware. All persons diagnosed with asthma MUST CARRY THEIR INHALER on their person at all times during the race. For any questions, please contact Nurse Natanya.
PRIZES:
Prizes will be awarded to 5K runners across age categories at the conclusion of the 1 Mile Fun Run. All 1 Mile Fun Run participants will receive a medal as they cross the finish line.
