This event is open to all ages and capabilities. Running the course is not required, and many enjoy walking the course with nature all around.

Registration begins at 8 a.m., race begins at 9, awards begin at 10. Entry fee is $25, which includes a T-shirt (while supplies last), post-run reusable goodie bag, refreshments, a DJ and free parking. Entrants can register online at www.realestateinberks.com/5K.
