Organiser's description

REVIVED SOLDIERS Ukraine is excited to bring you the 2024 Run for Ukraine 5K. It's our first year organizing a race in the Philadelphia area and we are excited to see the turnout to help support our wounded Ukrainian veterans by raising funds for their medical treatment both here in the United States and in Ukraine after serving their country.

This is a paved, trail race through beautiful Tyler State Park, Newtown, PA. It is a fun but challenging course on the park's rolling hills. All registrants will receive a unique, custom designed Run for Ukraine race shirt while supplies last.

The schedule for the day of the race is to start check-in at 8AM where the first 20 registrants will get a free gift. During check-in, our Ukrainian heroes will start their 1M walk/roll. We will cheer them on their return from the route and once they all return, around 9AM, we will start the 5K for the timed runners/walkers. Next, we will have the 1M walkers start their trail. Around 10AM, we will have the kids fun run(~0.5miles).

We would like to invite everyone to join the RSU team at the after party that will be hosted at the Tyler Park Playground(Boardwalk). You will have the opportunity to meet our heroes and hear their stories. Please join us for a fun afternoon of food and drinks and some might walk away with a raffle prize for registering.
