KENNETT SQUARE, PA (September 6, 2016) — We are “All One under the Sun.”  Join the community in this family friendly fundraiser 5K in Anson B. Nixon Park to support LCH’s mission of helping low-income residents of southern Chester County to stay healthy, build strong families, and lead productive lives by providing high-quality, culturally welcoming services.  The event will take place on Sunday, September 25, 2016.

5kRegistration starts at 8:00 a.m. and the race will begin at 9:00 a.m., rain or shine.  The tax-deductible registration fee is $25 pre-registered; $30 on race day.  The run is a fast course through and around the park with chip timing.  The one-mile walk includes fun family activities at stations along the way. A children’s dash will start at 10:00 a.m.  All kids under the age of eight can participate in any event for only $5.  There will be food, live music by Mariachi Flores from 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m., goody bags, event t-shirts and an appearance by Philadelphia Union team members.LCH5K Logo
