Rock Your Socks 5K

The Rock Your Socks 5K is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, 2026, at Cairn University in Langhorne, PA. The event is organized to raise awareness and support for individuals with Down syndrome and aligns with World Down Syndrome Day on 3/21.

The event program includes:

  • 5K
  • 1 mile run/walk
  • Virtual Challenge

Participants are asked to wear colorful or mismatched socks, a symbol associated with World Down Syndrome Day, to help increase visibility for the cause. Prizes will be awarded at the live event for the most creative socks in addition to the usual race awards.

New for this year, all race participants will receive a race medal instead of a shirt. Proceeds from the event will support the Cairn Student Scholarship Fund for a student planning to work with special needs individuals.

Cairn University Athletics and RUN 12:1 Running Club are listed as hosts. A virtual option is available for those not participating in person. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
