SOUDERTON — The 28th annual Run in Souderton 5K, Fitness Walk and Kids’ Fun Run will be held on July 11.

Hosted by Moyer Indoor-Outdoor, the fundraising event will be held on a Tuesday night for the first time. Proceeds benefit Souderton Area High School Cross Country Scholarships and the Keystone Opportunity Center. This year’s scholarship recipients, Nathan Fickert and Nora Richardson, are Souderton Area High School 2023 graduates.

“We are thrilled to add Keystone Opportunity Center as a beneficiary while continuing to support student scholarships,” said David Moyer, president of Moyer. “We are proud to have created a means to show how our community comes together to help each other. It’s an investment in our hometown, and it’s also a great time.”

Five-year age group awards will be given out to the top runners. All participants will receive a custom-designed commemorative t-shirt.

“It has been amazing to watch this event grow,” said Jen Burynski, race director and marketing and advertising director for Moyer. “You don’t see this level of festive atmosphere anywhere else. Souderton shows up – from misting stations provided by the Souderton Perseverance Volunteer Fire Company to neighbors along the route cheering people on. And then at the finish line we have everything from pizza to popsicles. It really is a 5K meets block party.”

The event begins at 6 p.m. at Souderton Community Park. The Kids’ Fun Run will start at 6:30 p.m. followed by the 5K race and Fitness Walk at 7 p.m.

Pre-registration is open at emoyer.com/5k. Participants can also register the day of the event from 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. at Souderton Community Park.
