Tribute Markers

A Tribute Marker is a 12” x 18” sign prominently displayed on either the 5K Run, Competitive Walk, or PINK RIBBON LOOP course. In addition to your loved one(s) name(s), the Tribute Marker will include the W5K design and our slogan: “Some races are for kicks, some are for glory, this race is for Name(s) of loved one(s)”.  In addition to the tribute person’s name, you may add up to 50 characters (max) to signify who the tribute marker is from or you may include a special note!
 
Each Tribute Marker is $50.00 and can be ordered during the registration process for one of our events.
If you have already registered or would like to purchase a tribute marker without registering it is very easy.  Simply click here
 
 
The final date to order a Tribute Marker is September 23.
We encourage you to take your Tribute Markers home with you after the event. After the event the Tribute Markers will be brought to the front of the stage after all participants have finished the events. If you would like to keep your marker but are unable to stay until the end of the events, please contact Michelle Sames at mmsames@verizon.net or call 610-349-8811.
Please contact Michelle Sames if you have questions or a problem.
