About This Event

The Glenside Fire Company – Stop, Drop & Run 5K is a fundraiser that benefits the all-volunteer Glenside Fire Company No. 1 in Glenside, Pennsylvania.

Both the 5K run and our 1.5 mile “fun” run/walk will start and finish at the Glenside Fire Company Firehouse at 210 W. Glenside Avenue in Glenside. This is conveniently located across the street from the Glenside Train Station for anyone using public transportation. The run will take two loops through the scenic streets of Glenside. A few rolling hills throughout the course will provide just enough of a challenge to satisfy any level of runner. The 1.5 mile run/walk will be untimed, but will follow the same course, completing just one loop.

After the Race - Come for the exercise, but stay for the fun!!! All race participants will be provided with breakfast foods, along with plenty of water. Those who are of age (21+) and interested will be able to join us in our beer garden for a complimentary beer. Entertainment and other amenities will be available and will be highlighted on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/GFC5K as race day approaches.

ENTRY: $30.00 if registered by September 25th to receive a long-sleeved race shirt. The fee for entrants registered after September 25th, including Race Day, is $35,00. Shirts may be available to those registering after September 25th depending on availability.
