The Greater Glenside Patriotic Association (GGPA) will host the 12th annual “Keep the Parade Running” fundraiser on Saturday, April 12 at 8:00am.

There are 10 age categories for the race, which starts and ends at North Penn Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 676, Jenkintown and Easton Roads.

The event is crucial to keeping alive Glenside’s three-tier, family-friendly Independence Day celebration. It helps pay the nearly $70,000 cost of the 4th of July festivities, which include a children’s program, after-dark fireworks, and the Glenside Parade.

Sign-ups for the 5K and 1 mile walk can be found here.

For updates and details, you can visit the event’s Facebook page or the GGPA website.
