Racin' Bacon 5K

Racin’ Bacon 5K, held in Easton, Pennsylvania, runs near the Riverside Park amphitheater as part of PA Bacon Fest. The 5K course features a playful chase with three mascot pigs who receive a short head start before runners begin; those who pass the pigs earn a special prize. Registration includes a long-sleeve shirt (guaranteed if registered by Oct.

17), bacon, beer, and entry to the festival. Prizes are awarded for overall winners and top finishers in each age group. The race is limited to about 275 participants, with no reserved parking for the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
