Join the excitement at the Middletown Olde-Tyme Peach Festival 5K on Saturday, August 16, 2025, in the charming town of Middletown, New Castle. This beloved event celebrates the area's rich agricultural heritage as it marks the original harvest from what was once the largest peach farming region in the nation. Runners of all ages and skill levels are invited to participate in this fun-filled race, which not only promotes fitness but also supports a great cause—proceeds from the event benefit the Middletown Athletic Club Scholarship Fund.

As the longest-running 5K in Middletown, this race is a must-do for locals and visitors alike. While participants should be aware of construction work in the park that may affect registration and the course route, the positive energy and community spirit make it all worthwhile. Lace up your running shoes, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, and help support a meaningful cause while celebrating the peach harvest!
