Third Thirsty Thursday Evening 5K Race Series : Race 6 of 7
This is one race in a monthly evening 5K series held April through October 2026 at Trooper Thorn’s Irish Beef House, 451 Morgantown Rd (Rt. 10), Reading, PA. The series normally runs on the third Thursday of each month and this event is listed as the sixth of seven races.
The course is a wheel-measured 5K on the mostly flat Thun trail, on packed cinder or paved surface. The typical layout is an out-and-back with a 1.55 mile out portion to a turnaround and a return to the start. A finish clock, mile markers, instant results and light postrace eats are provided. Insurance is provided by R.R.C.A.
Entry options include a series entry and individual race entry. Series entry fees and deadlines are published for the full seven-race series; individual race entry is available on race night. Shirts are available for sale while supplies last. One beverage is provided with each entry; minors receive a free soft drink. Entries under age 21 must leave the venue by 9:30 PM unless accompanied by a parent. The event is normally held rain or shine; if postponed, it is usually held the following Thursday.
Awards include first overall male and female plus age-group awards across multiple age brackets. A Clydesdale/Clydette category is offered with minimum weight criteria and is a series-level category once declared. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
