Description

Lace up your shoes and join the fun! 

Get ready for an unforgettable day on the breathtaking grounds of Nemours Estate! Our family‑friendly 5K and Fun Run winds through the Estate’s Versailles‑inspired gardens. Run, walk or roll past playful fountains, majestic towers, and grand monuments, creating an experience you won’t find anywhere else. 

Every step you take helps a child heal. Proceeds benefit the Nemours Children’s Compassionate Care Fund, supporting world‑class care for sick and injured children. Raise $5,000 or more, and you can direct your impact to the Nemours department of your choice in the Delaware Valley.  

Don’t miss the Runner’s Village with food and beverages to refuel the whole family, lively music and goodies from our generous sponsors. Check out our Kid Zone with games, face painting and more! We expect more than 1,000 runners, walkers, wheelchair athletes, and cheerleaders of all ages—please be one of them! Individuals and teams are welcome. Registered participants will receive a race shirt and finisher’s medal. Medals will be handed out at the finish line while supplies last.    

Limited registrations are available – sign up early!
