About the race
The Phighting Irish 5K is a community running event held at Norristown Farm Park in Norristown, PA. The event program includes a 5K run and a 1 mile walk, followed by a short Kids' Fun Run for children 12 and under held on the grassy area near the pavilions. Prizes and awards are provided for the youth race.
An outdoor fall festival opens after the race activities with local food, non-alcoholic drinks, music, giveaways and games. Race awards and festival activities take place near the park pavilions and are open to club members, friends, and family.
Registration details in the event listing identify a registration fee of $25.00 for the 5K and $30.00 for the 1 mile walk, with specific open and close dates for each registration period. All proceeds benefit a fund at the University of Notre Dame.
Vehicle access to Norristown Farm Park is via a single entrance at the intersection of Germantown Pike and North Wales Road; some GPS systems may direct drivers onto roads that are closed around the park. A nearby address on Germantown Pike is noted as a reliable reference for locating the park entrance. From the entrance, visitors follow Upper Farm Road for about one mile to the pavilions and parking area.
