Fall Blast 5K Run/Walk
The 23rd annual Fall Blast is a 5K Run/Walk held on October 3, 2026 in Lititz, PA. The event includes a Kids Color Run and team entries for groups of five or more.
Registration is primarily online with tiered fees. Individual online fees are $30 for early bird registration through June 30, 2026; $35 from July 1 through September 20; and $40 for online post registration from September 21 through October 1, 2026. Paper post registration is $40 from October 1 through race day morning. Team pricing per member is $28 for early bird through June 30 and $33 per member from July 1 through September 20. A free T-shirt is guaranteed only for registrations completed by September 20. In-person registration and pre race packet pick up are available race day morning from 7:30 AM to 8:45 AM.
The course is 3.1 miles and relatively flat. It uses the Warwick Township paved trail around the Pebble Creek development and neighborhood streets surrounding Bonfield Elementary School at 101 North Oak Street, Lititz PA. About half of the course follows the paved trail and the remainder uses residential streets.
Applied Race Management Solutions provides timing for runners; walkers will not be timed. Runners are asked to line up toward the front with faster runners first and walkers toward the back. Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers in male and female categories and top three overall across the following age groups: 14 and under, 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, and 65 and over. The Kid's Fun Run takes place immediately after the 5K and an announcement will be made five minutes before it begins. Race awards are announced after the Fun Run.
All proceeds for the event will be donated to SWAN. SWAN is a Lancaster based music and support group for children affected by parental incarceration that provides free music lessons, ensemble training, performance opportunities, mentoring, trauma informed counseling, and biblical instruction. The organization aims to help each student heal, learn, succeed, and dream. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
