      • The 5K run will begin at 9 a.m. If you do not plan to pick up your bib in advance, please plan to arrive with sufficient time for parking and check-in.
      • The 1-mile walk will begin at approximately 9:05 a.m. Please allow all runners to get started before lining up and joining in.
      • You are more than welcome to walk the entire 5K. However, please bear in mind that the course will close after 60 minutes (i.e., normal traffic pattern will resume) and that the post-race festivities will begin at approximately 10 a.m.

        • A consultant from Jamberry Nails will be providing free nail wrap samples and quick application lesson. What is Jamberry, you ask? Jamberrys are nail wraps that come in 100's of colors and designs. They are an alternative to the harsh chemicals in artificial, gel, and polish manicures.

        Although we do not anticipate any issues, Radnor Police and an Emergency Medical Service team from the Radnor Fire Company will be on standby.
