Organiser's Description
The GLENSIDE FIRE COMPANY STOP, DROP & RUN 5K is a fundraiser that benefits the all-volunteer Glenside Fire Company No. 1 in Glenside, Pennsylvania.
Both the 5K run and our 1.5 mile fun run/walk will start and finish at the Glenside Fire Company Firehouse at 210 W. Glenside Avenue in Glenside. This is conveniently located across the street from the Glenside Train Station for anyone using public transportation. The run will take two loops through the scenic streets of Glenside.
