Manheim Santa 5K Run & Walk
The Manheim Lions Club organizes an annual community 5K event in downtown Manheim, PA each December. The event features a chip timed 5K run and walk that starts and finishes at Market Square. Participants of all ages are welcome, and festive holiday attire is encouraged. Proceeds support local community projects and charitable causes.
Packet pick up is available the day before and the morning of the event at Trinity Evangelical Congregational Church, 48 Market Square, Manheim. Parking is available at several nearby lots and community locations around Market Square. On street parking is also available throughout the borough with usual local restrictions.
Course support includes a water station at the halfway point and water at the finish. Porta potties are located near the east side of Market Square. Life Lion medical services will be onsite and will follow participants along the course. Event security and traffic control are coordinated with the borough police and fire police.
Event rules note that entry fees are non refundable, roller and motorized devices are prohibited, and dogs are allowed on course if leashed and cleaned up after. Walkers are asked to position themselves behind runners, and the course must be completed within 1 hour and 15 minutes so roads can be reopened. Medals and refreshments are provided for finishers and top finishers receive awards and cash prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
