After the WDF, stay and watch high-school athletes compete in the 45th Annual Delaware County Cross Country Championships--on the same 5k course.

Training runs will be held every Thursday night in September (until we run out of daylight) at 6:30pm on the Rose Tree Park course.

Sponsorship opportunities available, and our major sponsors this year are Optimum Physical Therapy Associates and Nolan Painting, Inc., along with Dr. Lee S. Cohen, lucy, Brazill Insurance & Investments, RuppFitness.com, Gormley Electric 484.432.1271, The Running Place, Whole Foods Market, and Women's Yellow Pages.
