Run Like a King 5K - Quakertown, PA
Run Like a King 5K is a community event held at the Park at 4th (Univest Performance Center) in Quakertown, Pennsylvania on October 24, 2026. The event includes in-person and virtual options and offers multiple distances:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 1 mile All Age Stroll
- 0.5 mile Kids Fun Run
- 5K Virtual Run/Walk
The event raises funds for the King Family Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit formed after a 2021 house fire. The foundation directs assistance to people affected by house fires, offers support for those who have lost homes, promotes fire safety education for children, and seeks to provide financial aid to local fire departments.
On-site elements include local fire departments and law enforcement participating for Fire Safety Awareness Month, vendors, a kids zone with activities, concessions, water stations along the course and at the finish, post-race snacks and bottled water, and restroom facilities. Packet pickup is available both before race day and on race morning; some participant items are provided only to registrations completed by specified deadlines. All 5K participants receive a finisher medal, and prizes are awarded after the Kids Fun Run.
Parking is available at the corner of 4th and Mill and at the Quakertown Community Pool. The city library lot is restricted and vehicles there may be towed. Road closures will affect access near the park, so organizers suggest allowing extra time and consider carpooling to reduce congestion.
