Carpe Diem 5K
The Carpe Diem 5K is a track-based 5-kilometer run or walk held on July 8, 2026 at Gus Anderson Field at McDowell High School in Erie, Pennsylvania. The venue address is 3580 W 38th St, Erie, PA 16506, United States.
The event is conducted entirely on the track oval. The course is flat and contained, with no road sections or neighborhood turns, which makes pacing consistent over each lap. Races are organized to allow direct comparisons of times on a single surface.
Divisions will be set based on entries to create evenly matched races. In addition to the main 5K, there is a separate track-only program that includes various age-group competitions; registration for those track events is managed through PA Mile Split and appears under Showcase '26 in their calendar.
General registration opens on June 9, 2026 and closes on July 8, 2026. The registration fee for the 5K is $25.00. The published event format lists the distance as a 5K and the event type as a running race for participants choosing to run or walk. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
