And...we will have plenty of folks cheering you on the whole way as well as one water stop for the 5k runners and two for the 8k runners.
WHY ARE WE ORGANIZING THIS EVENT: Why are we holding this event? Because we want to bring folks together in a meaningful way, get friends and families OUTSIDE to enjoy our beautiful area that we live in and most importantly, to raise funds for the Wissahickon Watershed Association & Ainsley's Angels!!!
Again, Scoogie Events, Montgomery Township, Warrington Township and The Joseph Ambler Inn are holding nothing back and pulling out all of the stops to make sure that this first ever event of it's kind will truly be one for the memory books.
Having the beautiful & famous Joseph Ambler Inn, Montgomery Township and the new US 202 Parkway play host to this event is a dream come true. This is a THE perfect location to host an event like this and the US 202 Parkway is THE perfect run course. The combination of these factors and the fact that Scoogie Events is bringing this race to you and will see to it that all runners needs and desires are met, means that this race is surly not to be missed.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO RECEIVE WHEN YOU REGISTER FOR THE AWESOME EVENT:
The famous Joseph Ambler Inn will serve ALL runners a FREE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST!!!!

Again, no mailing of awards or shirts. If you have to leave the race early for ANY reason, you must notify us to save your award. If you do not, we cannot hold/store awards and will likely be given to a race day entry or someone else. It is simply too much to hold/store & inventory the awards.
