The 50th Annual Red Rose Run marks a 50-year tradition in Lancaster that began in 1977. The event is based at 145 North Queen Street in Lancaster, PA, and follows a course that mixes urban streets with rolling park hills through Lancaster City and County Park.

The kids run is listed as 400 m, is free, and registration for the kids event closes June 6, 2026. The first 250 registrants are entered to win $250 in Downtown Dollars. A prize is awarded to the best overall 1970s themed costumed registrant.
Registered participants receive a collectible water bottle provided by Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster, a commemorative 50th anniversary race bib and medal, and post-race refreshments from Kegel’s Produce and Wilsbach.
