The Glenside Fire Company’s annual Stop, Drop & Run 5K will take place on Sunday, October 13 from 9:00am to 12:00pm and will begin at 210 W. Glenside Avenue.

The event is the year’s largest fundraiser for the all-volunteer Glenside Fire Company and provides options for runners and walkers alike. Highlights include free breakfast foods and water, scenic views, complimentary beer (for those of age), medals for top finishers, and other perks.

From the event’s description:

Both the 5K run and our 1.5 mile “fun” run/walk will start and finish at the Glenside Fire Company Firehouse at 210 W. Glenside Avenue in Glenside. This is conveniently located across the street from the Glenside Train Station for anyone using public transportation. The run will take two loops through the scenic streets of Glenside. A few rolling hills throughout the course will provide just enough of a challenge to satisfy any level of runner. The 1.5 mile run/walk will be untimed, but will follow the same course, completing just one loop.
 
Come for the exercise, but stay for the fun!!! All race participants will be provided with breakfast foods, along with plenty of water. Those who are of age (21+) and interested will be able to join us in our beer garden for a complimentary beer. 

Registration for the event is now open. For more information and updates, you can visit the event’s Facebook page.
