Fitzy's Run
Fitzy's Run is an annual, family-oriented community event sponsored by Lauren's Foundation. It is held each year on the last Sunday of October in Berks County, Pennsylvania at the West Reading Playground, 505 Sycamore Road. The event raises funds to support the foundation's charitable programs for high school seniors, families with seriously ill children, brain tumor research and organ donation awareness.
Key race options:
- 5K run
- 1.5 mile walk
- Kid's Trick or Treat Dash (free, no shirt or medals)
The program includes adults and kids costume contests, a supervised Kid's Zone for children age two and older, a health services fair with local health outreach and chiropractic consultations, entertainment, Halloween trick or treat bags for children, local food trucks, and unique overall and age-group awards. Custom long-sleeved cotton/poly t-shirts with Halloween-themed artwork are offered as an add-on at registration in unisex sizing.
Registration is available online with tiered pricing: extra early through July 31, early from August 1 to September 25, and regular through October 25; team entries are for three to six people and have separate team awards while individual times still count. Virtual and in-person packet pickup is offered the weekend before the event at Fleet Feet in West Reading. Event parking is on nearby streets; attendees should observe parking regulations. The event takes place rain, snow or shine. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
