Celebrate Independence Day and McCandless
The McCandless Bday 5K takes place on July 4th in Allison Park, Pennsylvania. This event commemorates the dual birthdays of the United States and the Town of McCandless. Participants gather at the North Park Boathouse, located at 10301 Pearce Mill Road, to take part in various running and walking activities held within the park grounds.
The event offers several distances and categories for participants:
- 5K Run/Walk (3.1 miles)
- 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk (1 mile)
- Kids Dash (50 yards)
Registration for these events opens in mid-March. To support those preparing for the 5K distance, a specific training program is organized in collaboration with the Appalachian Running Company, beginning in May. The event is designed to be family-friendly, accommodating both runners and walkers across the different course lengths. All activities are centered around the Boathouse area, providing a central location for the holiday festivities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
