The RUNegades are proud to present The Inaugural Blobfest 5K and Children's Fun Run!
A meteorite has crash landed in Phoenixville and the residents are on the run! Between you and safety lies 5,000 meters of trail. What STRANGE SIGHTS and BLOBSTACLES might you encounter along the way?
When: Sunday July 15th 8:00 am
Where: Phoenixville, PA Down under the Gay Street Bridge (Where they hold the Farmer's Market)
About the Race
Phoenixville's own RUNegades have partnered with the historic Colonial Theatre to bring you a one-of-a-kind running event in celebration of Phoenixville's most unconventional local holiday. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Colonial.
This FLAT, FAST, and FUN course will begin under the Gay Street Bridge (the site of the Phoenixville Farmer's Market), continue over the Phoenix Column Truss Bridge and up a scenic section of the SRT beside French Creek. We'll complete a one-mile loop on the SRT before turning around at High Street.
All participants who register by July 5th are guaranteed a unique Blobfest-5K race T-shirt.

Bib-Transfers
While we do not offer refunds, we do allow for bib transfers. Bib transfers can be completed for free through our site at runsignup.com. The site will take care of the transfer; those who transfer their bibs will have to work out any payment agreement with the recipient on their own. We kindly ask that you do not use the FB event page to solicit bib transfers.
INDESCRIBABLE! INDESTRUCTIBLE! NOTHING CAN STOP IT! (is that old poster about the Blob...or YOU?)
