Burning for Learning Fort 5K

On Sunday, April 10^th, people from all over the area will come together to run, walk and have fun, all while making a difference for a local elementary school. This promises to be a fun morning filled with runners, walkers, music, sponsor booths and more!

The professionally-timed event will wind through beautiful Fort Washington, PA, starting and ending at the Upper Dublin High School Cardinal Stadium. The 5K is a fast, mostly flat course, suitable for very experienced runners, as well as those new to running. Check-in begins at 7am and the race will take place at 9am.

For those that prefer not to run the 5K, an equally enjoyable 1 mile walk/run will take place on the stadium track, starting at 8:30am.

The 5K race fee is $20 per runner for those registered by March 22^nd, and includes and shirt and goodie bag. The fee is $25 after that time and on race day, with a shirt and goodie bag while supplies last ($20 after shirts are gone.)

The Fun Walk/Run fee is $5 per walker, pre-registered, or $7 the day of the race, with a favor, while supplies last.

Through the support of sponsors and the running community, Fort Washington Elementary School will be able to provide educational, technological and other resources to the students, teachers, and support staff of the school, thereby enriching the educational experiences of children and strengthening the community.

The Fort Washington Elementary Patriots can be heard saying, "Try your hardest! Never give up! We are a community and a family!" Our FWES family wishes you a great race!
