Run for Thorncroft
On Thursday, September 3, 2026, Thorncroft Equestrian Center at 190 Line Road, Malvern, Pennsylvania, hosts a community event on its 70-acre property featuring a 5K trail run, a 5K walk, and a One Mile Move As You Please.
- 5K Trail Run, 3.1 Miles
- 5K Walk Only, 3.1 Miles
- One Mile Move As You Please, 1 Mile
The 5K course is a true cross-country route with varied and at times uneven terrain over grass, dirt, and rocky areas. The course can include mud or soggier spots depending on weather. The finish area offers optional fixed cross-country obstacles such as logs and a bank jump; all participants cross a stream with rocks and ascend a steep hill to the finish. The event is timed and the course is subject to change.
The One Mile course includes a mix of dirt, pavement, gravel, and grass, with a low-grade grass hill in the first half and a medium-grade hill near the end. Leashed dogs are welcome.
Accessibility support personnel or guides may attend at no cost; arrangements must be made with the event organizers. An after-party is part of the event and includes live music, food trucks, a beer garden with complimentary access for participants age 21 and over, and pony meet and greets. After-party access is included for registered race participants; separate tickets are required for other attendees.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Farm at Thorncroft and the care of its horses. Attendance constitutes consent to be photographed for print and electronic media; notify organizers if photograph use is not desired. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
