Doylestown 5K To Hit The Streets On Memorial Day Weekend

DOYLESTOWN BOROUGH, PA — The Doylestown 5K Race and One Mile Fun Run will hit the streets on Saturday for its 32nd year.

This year's 5K race will step off at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 25 on Maple Avenue at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. The USATF-certified course will then wind its way down Linden, through the Forest Drive neighborhood, back down Linden before finishing on State Street.

The One Mile Fun Run steps off at 9 a.m. on Maple.

“It’s always a lot of fun,” said race director and Discover Doylestown President Kris Boger, noting that a lot of the homeowners along the course decorate for the race and put sprinklers out for the runners. "The whole course tends to be a big party atmosphere.”

Drawing more than 700 runners and a huge crowd of supporters, the event is the largest race in the Bucks 5K Series.

“It’s a great way to start your Memorial Day celebrations,” said Boger, who encourages people of all ages to join in the fun or to come out and cheer the participants.
