JOIN US FOR THE 12TH ANNUAL 5K FOR AIDAN J. RUN/WALK FOR HEART-SAFE COMMUNITIES!

This fast, flat and shady course is perfect for first-timers and runners who are reaching for a PR! We also have a 1-mile walk, kids races, and virtual 5K and walk options. Medals awarded for the teams (the fastest and the most fundraising-est), place winners from each age category, and every child who crosses the finish line in the Kids Races. Top male and female runners overall win $50 cash.

The 5K race is chip-timed, and all runners and 1 mile walkers will receive bibs. Bryn Mawr Race Management will be providing chip-timing services for runners. Runner results will be posted immediately on a flat-screen and online.

NEW THIS YEAR: SPECIAL STUDENT PRICING-- REGISTRATION FOR THE 5K IS ONLY $20 FOR RUNNERS UP TO AGE 22 WHO REGISTER BEFORE FRIDAY, JUNE 14TH ($5 increase on race day). The $10 discount off the regular 5K price will be reflected at checkout.
