13th Annual Freezer 5K Ready To Run In Horsham

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —There's nothing like running a race in December —especially when it has the name freezer attached to it.

The 13th annual Freezer 5K takes place on Saturday with registration at 8:30 a.m. at the Simmons Elementary Cafeteria and packet pickups from 10 a.m. to Noon at the Horsham Library, 435 Babylon Rd.

Race Director Kyle J. Lynch said he expects an excellent race, weather permitting.

Awards will be given to those participating in the 5K timed race.

The top three runners in each age division category for both men and women will be awarded a medal. The top three men and top three women with the overall fastest times will be awarded prizes sourced from local businesses from Horsham and the surrounding community.

The courses will be the same as last year.

There will also be arrow markers painted on white paper plates to keep everyone on course. Make sure you follow the correct colored arrows: Orange arrows for the 5K race and green arrows for the 1-mile family fun walk and stroller division.

St. Vincent De Paul will be at the event collecting non-perishable food donations to support local families during the holiday season.

Parking will be located at the Simmons Elementary School parking lot.

This is located directly to the left of the school off Hatters Way, and there will be parking signs posted. Overflow parking will be at the Hatboro Horsham High School parking lot.

This parking lot can be accessed either from the Horsham Road entrance or continuing down Hatters Way past the Simmons Elementary parking lot.

Lynch said there is no parking at the Horsham Library or in the Babylon Business Campus across the road from Simmons Elementary. Any unauthorized vehicles will be towed.
