5 Mile Run: Conquer the Valley
5 Mile Run: Race Anywhere Virtually 4/21-4/28
Description
YEAR 18!
For 17 years, the Valley Forge Revolutionary 5-Mile Run ® has been a unique challenge for runners of all skill levels. Runners trek a five-mile, USAF-certified course that traverses the scenic Valley Forge National Historical Park. The 18th Annual Rev Run falls over National Park Week and all proceeds from the race go directly back into Valley Forge National Historical Park to enhance the visitor experience and support our local national treasure.
Since its inception in 2006, Rev Run has raised over $600,000 for Park infrastructure improvement projects and programming to enhance the visitor experience. 2023 lead the way in record breaking fundraising with a single year proceed total of $70,000 that went directly to the Park.
*In 2021 we decided to make Rev Run virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Runners and walkers from 24 different U.S. states, Germany, and the Netherlands participated virtually. Due to record-breaking registration, virtual participation will remain an option moving forward.
