This fundraiser event celebrates the Lawrence Hopewell Trail’s mission to complete its 20-mile, multi-use trail connecting Hopewell and Lawrence Townships. The timed 5K course follows a scenic route along the Lawrence Hopewell Trail. The officially certified 5k course is open to all pace levels, including walkers. For pricing, FAQs, and event details, visit the LHT 5K page. A free SignUp account is required to register. The Fun Run is an approximately one-mile, non-competitive route designed especially for children, families, and walkers who prefer a shorter distance. The Fun Run is all about enjoying the trail and moving at your own pace. Participants are welcome to walk, jog, or run — strollers are welcome, and smiles are encouraged! Please note that that dogs are not permitted on the race course. All registered participants will receive an official race T-shirt if registered before April 26th. T-shirts will be available on a first-come, first-served basis after that time.
Awards will be given to the top overall male and female finishers and the top finishers by age group.
