About the race
The Fall Dash to Restore the Splash is a community event in Cressona centered on a 5K road race, a Fun Run/Walk, and a virtual challenge. It takes place at Cressona Pool, 264-298 Graeff St., Cressona, PA, and finishes at Bubeck Park where a festival follows.
The event raises funds for repairs and upgrades to the town pool; the pool needs $1.2 million in work before it can reopen. The race course allows only strollers or wagons as wheeled devices. Dogs are welcome when comfortable around people and other dogs and when kept on a leash.
Race options and services:
- 5K race with timed or untimed participation
- Fun Run/Walk
- Virtual challenge
Timing and results: Pretzel City Sports provides timing for 5K participants who select timed results. Non-chip bibs are used for timed entries and official results are uploaded to RunSignUp on the next business day.
Registration and logistics details in the event materials include guaranteed T-shirts for entries made before November 1, an option for 5K participants to upgrade to a long-sleeve shirt for an additional fee, packet pickup at Cressona Borough Hall before the event, and race-day pickup at the pool concession building. Awards include first-place prizes for overall male and female finishers and for the top male and female in each age group. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
