Oxford Valley Mall Hosts 18th Annual Sesame Place Classic 5K

Kids and adults alike lace up for a great cause this spring

Registration has officially opened for the 18th Annual Courier Kiwanis Sesame Place Classic 5K - and just in time to welcome the warm spring weather!

The race will be held at Sesame Place and the grounds of Oxford Valley Mall and features a 5K, 1-mile fun run and the always popular Simon Kidgits Club Sprint, powered by Oxford Valley Mall.

Proceeds of the race support the Dick Dougherty Scholarship Fund which contributes to the scholarship funds of 18 Bucks County high schools and 34 individual Bucks County Scholar Athletes. Named for the late Courier Times sports editor, the fund has allocated about $400,000 since it began in 1999 to help local students pay for college.
