Ncsaa 5k Run / Walk

The 14th Annual NCSAA 5k Run / Walk features our traditional on-site format. You will be eligible to participate in our local run / walk event held at Brady's Run Park in Beaver Falls, PA (which will be held on Saturday, September 19, 2026 -- starting at 9:10 AM -- please arrive much earlier to complete on-site registration). The event will include a 5k Run / Walk (a beautiful, mostly flat and often shaded course back through the park), as well as a 1-Mile Walk (for those walkers who would prefer to not walk the entire 5k). Participants will be eligible for awards and prizes.

Awards will be presented to the top three overall 5k male and female finishers, as well as to the top three 5k male and female finishers in each age group (7 and under, 8-11, 12-14, 15-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+). Post-race food and drinks will also be provided to all participants, and you'll be entered into our fun prize giveaway, which will take place after the race.

All proceeds will benefit the non-profit mission and work of the National Christian School Athletic Association.

AGAIN THIS YEAR...a 5k team competition! Put together a team of five or more people who will participate in the 5k. Team scoring is done via cross-country format (each of your team's top five finishers earns points equal to their overall place in the 5k race, and the team with the lowest score wins). Participants are also eligible for individual awards and prizes.

After you register for the event (and within a couple weeks of the date of the event), you will receive (by e-mail) additional, detailed instructions regarding race-day details, directions, etc. All participants that register by September 1 will receive a t-shirt at the event.

Also after you register, we will send you information about how to sign up for a fundraising page, if you would like to do so.  We'd greatly appreciate if you'd be willing to be a fundraising participant, in order to help us reach our $10,000 fundraising goal for this event. It's as simple as sending an e-mail to family and friends, letting them know you'll be participating and would appreciate their support...and sending them a link to the fundraising page.  Thanks for considering this!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact NCSAA at 724-846-2764 (phone) or questions@ncsaa.org (e-mail). Thanks for your interest in this year's event!
