Summer Sendoff 5K

The Summer Sendoff 5K & 1 Mile is a family-friendly running and walking event held annually in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, at Pickering Valley Elementary School and Eagle Crossroads Park. The 5K features the "Byers Loop" course, popular among young runners and local elites, while the 1 Mile walk includes games along the route. Participants receive a commemorative T-shirt, with cash prizes for the top three overall male and female finishers and medals for top age group performers.

The event supports the local non-profit Best Buddies, promoting inclusivity for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It fosters community spirit and offers raffle prizes and bib number awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
