Get ready to lace up your running shoes and conquer both hills and history at the 21st Annual Valley Forge National Historical Park 5-Mile Run! This iconic event, set in the breathtaking landscape of Valley Forge National Historical Park, promises a challenging yet exhilarating race experience like no other.

As the crisp April air fills your lungs, you'll set off on a 5-mile journey through the very grounds where American history was forged. The course winds its way through internal park roads offering a scenic backdrop steeped in the rich heritage of the Revolutionary War.
