9th Annual Harvest 5K
If you haven't signed up yet, today is the day!
Run or walk chip-timed miles
Bring everyone, and yes even your friendly dogs to Allentown's beautiful Cedar Beach Park for 3.1 miles of walking or running. It is a mostly packed and paved course through the Rose Garden. Water stations will be available, and expect cheering squads at every crossroads.
- Date: Sunday, October 15th, 2023
- Time: 11:00 am
- Where: 2600 Parkway Blvd, Allentown, PA (directions)
The race will be chip timed. This means that your race clock starts only when you cross the start line, and stops when you cross the finish line. So if you started and finished behind everyone else, it is still possible that you beat someone because you completed the course in less time.
Beneficiary
All proceeds will benefit the students of the Central Elementary School of Allentown PA on 9th Street and Turner. Central Elementary is one of 15 elementary schools located in the city of Allentown.
Most of its students are very poor with 89% of families classified as Low Income, and everyone receives Free/Reduced Lunch. It serves a community with a poverty rate of 38.64% of the City's population. (2013 Census).
We aim to raise $5,000 to help provide for the students' sports teams and fund new gym equipment.
