Festivus For The Rest Of Us 5k

Festivus For The Rest Of Us 5k, now in its fifth year, takes place in New Florence, Pennsylvania. The event offers a 5k run and a 5k walk with a precise 3.10-mile course starting in front of the New Florence Fire Hall (177 13th St) and looping toward Route 711 and Boswell Road before returning along Furnace Lane to finish near the ambulance garage. The course is not closed to traffic, but crossings are managed and traffic is minimal.

Notable features include a finish-line arch, on-site packet pickup, chip timing, and a single water stop around mile 1.45, plus a pet-friendly policy. Proceeds benefit the New Florence Volunteer Fire Company. Awards cover top overall and age-group finishers, with walk divisions.

Children under 10 have special pricing and shirt options. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
