Description
Join us for the 10th Race Back to School event in beautiful Downtown York to support the York Academy PTO.
New for 2022: a one-mile walking course. This course is for anyone who wants to support the event but doesn't want to go 5K. We've mapped out a one-mile stroll in Downtown York (starting and ending at the same point as the runners). You won't get a race bib (no timing) but you still get to be part of this great event and you're supporting our students!
- Adults $30
- Youth $10
Note: Due to increased operating and supply costs, the 5K will be manually timed (previously, chip timing was used).
Place
York, PA US 17401
Parking
Parking is available in the gravel lot on Beaver Street. The York City parking garages (Philly, E Market, W King) offer free parking on weekends.
Parking is not available in the Warehaus or Upper School parking lots due to course road closures.
