34th Annual Women's 5K Classic Live & Virtual Run/Walk-2026
The event is a live and virtual run/walk held in Allentown, Pennsylvania, organized by an all‑volunteer grassroots group that founded the Women’s 5K Classic in 1993. The organization states a twofold mission: to promote fitness among women and to support women with breast and gynecologic cancers and their families by contributing funding for related programs and research in the Lehigh Valley.
The 2026 entry period opens on February 14, 2026. The event offers both on-site and in spirit participation options and includes timed and untimed course choices.
Distances and participation options:
- 5K Run
- 5K Walk
- Pink Ribbon Loop (Untimed)
- In Spirit / Virtual Participant
The event takes place in the Lehigh Valley Parkway area of Allentown. Organizers note several participant rules intended for safety and fairness: the event runs rain or shine; headphones, skates, strollers, bikes, and pets are not allowed on the course; lead bikers are assigned for the 5K Run and the 5K Competitive Walk. Awards are determined by specified timing methods, with top 10 awards based on gun time and age group awards based on tag time. Team awards use the average time of the five fastest team members.
