From the Organizer
Come out on Saturday, August 8th for our Third Annual 5K and Fun Run at the Blueberry Festival in Montrose, PA! Work up an appetite on the race course, and then have some blueberry pancakes at our breakfast tent! We have family friendly events happening all day on the Village Green in Montrose, PA. If you're feeling extra competitive, sign up for our pie-eating contest Saturday afternoon! All proceeds from the Blueberry Festival (and 5K/Fun Run) benefit the Susquehanna Historical Society & Free Library Association.
The race will be run through the streets of quaint and picturesque Montrose. The 5K is a timed race, while the Fun Run is not.

Cash awards will be given to the three top scoring schools for both males and females and an additional cash award will be given to the school that registers the most overall participants. A check will be made out to the running program of each school receiving an award.
