A reminder to all Jenkintown Residents that the 28th Annual Jenkintown Sunset 5K Run will be held tonight, Tuesday June 4th at 7PM at the Town Square, presented by the Jenkintown Kiwanis Club. This is a rain or shine event.

Come on out and join us celebrating a Jenkintown tradition. Day of registration begins at 5PM. Currently the cost is $40 for Adults and $16 for those 10 & Under. Racing will start at 6:30PM with the free kids dash for those 6 years old and under. Then at 7PM the main race will begin. Join us at the town square to cheer them on, or if you live along the course cheer them on as they run by, as I am sure you will see plenty of your neighbors running. Let’s show everyone what makes Jenkintown so special. Live music by The Square Pegs of Oreland featuring JSD’s very own Jason Slowik at the gazebo from 6-8PM will be provided as well as post race refreshments.

Also, please be aware that certain roads will be closed to traffic throughout the borough and especially around the Town Square that evening starting at 5:15PM.
