Race Day Schedule & Route

12:30 pm - The 9.5 mile runners will take off from the starting line and the 3.6 mile runners can begin walking across the bridge to their starting point. 9.5 mile runners will START at the official starting line.
 
1:00 pm - the 3.6 mile runners will take off from their starting line. They will begin around the 9.5 mile mark of the race.
 
2:30-4:30 pm - Post Race Party @ Faith Community Church
1120 Drexel Hills Blvd, New Cumberland, PA 17070

Pre-Race Meeting Area:

This is where the 9.5 mile leg will begin. This is also where the 3.6 mile leg will finish. This is the official starting & finish line in the 13.1 mile course.

This is how to walk to the 3.6 mile starting line. This is also where the 9.5 mile runners will finish.

GIVE CLEAN WATER

We work strategically in India and Uganda to help meet the global need for water. $2,500 will fund a fully-installed, ready-to-use tube well for an entire village in India or you can share the cost. In Uganda, well installation costs $3150. You can be a part of changing lives!
