The Paterno Family Beaver Stadium Run
The Paterno Family Beaver Stadium Run is an annual athletic event held in University Park, Pennsylvania. The live races take place at Beaver Stadium, offering participants the opportunity to finish at a landmark collegiate sports venue. The event serves as a fundraiser benefiting Special Olympics Pennsylvania, supporting athletes with intellectual disabilities.
Participants can choose from several participation formats:
- 5K Run: A live racing event through the University Park campus.
- 2 Mile Family Fun Walk: A shorter distance intended for walkers and families.
- Virtual 5K/2 Mile: A remote participation option for those unable to attend in person.
The virtual component allows individuals to complete their chosen distance from any location between April 18th and May 9th. While participants have the option to submit their times for recognition, it is not a requirement to receive event memorabilia. All registered participants, including those in the virtual categories, receive an official event t-shirt and a finisher medal. The live event includes organized start waves for both the running and walking categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
