Women’s 5K Classic Run

 

Program start: 9:15 am
 
 
Run, Walk & Pink Ribbon Loop start: 10am simultaneously (Note: Please plan ahead for traffic delays.  We highly recommend that all participants leave home early and plan to be at the event site well before 9am, since enjoying the program is a lot more fun than sitting in traffic.  Unfortunately, we will not be able to postpone program and race start times due to traffic delays.)
 
 

Location: Little Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, PA
Packet Pickup: Friday, October 4, 2024 OR or Saturday, October 5 2024
Run Course Details and Map: The first 1.3 miles will be on the road with very few turns. After your initial climb, your hard work will pay off and the balance of the run will be gently rolling hills and flat to the finish. The entire course will be on paved or hard packed surfaces.  If you start the race in the group corresponding to your race pace, your run will be much more enjoyable. If you plan on running some, but not all of the race, register for the 5K run instead of the Competitive Walk.

See the course map, highlighted in GREEN arrows for the 5K run course.

Rules: The event takes place rain or shine. We ask that there are no headphones (you must be able to hear race officials), skates, strollers or bikes on the course. We also do not allow dogs or pets of any kind. It will be too crowded and we want all participants to have a positive and safe experience. We do have assigned lead bikers for the 5K Run and 5K Competitive Walk. Thank you for being mindful of the other participants and respect of the race personnel to ensure a safe and enjoyable race for everyone.

Awards: Top 10 awards will be based on gun time. Age group awards will be based on tag time. Decisions of race officials are final. Awards will not be duplicated. Please visit this page for listing of awards for which all runners are eligible. Awards will not be mailed. 

Team Competition: All teams will be eligible for team awards. Our timing source will calculate finish times and the average of the 5 fastest racers will generate a time. The best time will designate our first place team.
