A reminder to all Jenkintown Residents that the 29th Annual Jenkintown Sunset 5K Run will be held today, Thursday September 9th at 6PM 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. We have capped the run this year to 250 participants so there will be no day of registration, as we are completely sold out!  The race will start at 6PM. 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 Acoustic Keys featuring Jenkintown’s very own Joe Mahoney and Lisa Rountree Ridenour at the gazebo from 5-7PM will be provided as well. I you do come over to the town square please mask up for everyone’s safety!

Please be aware that there will be 250 runners on the roads that evening, so please be careful if driving at that time. Anticipate some delays, so please be patient. 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 4:00PM.  The route map for the race can be found here. The runners should all be off the roads by 7:15PM.
