Blueberry Hill 5K & Newberry Fun Run

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

Online Registration for the 5K has opened!

We're adding a new event to our annual Blueberry Festival in Montrose, PA! Come on out on Saturday, August 2nd for our Second Annual 5K and Fun Run. Work up an appetite on the race course, and then have some blueberry pancakes at our breakfast tent! Family-friendly events will be happening all day on the Village Green in Montrose, PA. If you're feeling extra competitive, sign up for our pie-eating contest Saturday afternoon! All proceeds from the Blueberry Festival (and 5K/Fun Run) benefit the Susquehanna Historical Society & Free Library Association.

The race will be run through the streets of quaint and picturesque Montrose. The 5K is a timed race, while the Fun Run is not.

🏫 School Awards

A school award category is being offered that involves school athletic programs. If you are a student, parent, immediate family member of a student, alumni, or current/retired school employee, then you are eligible to race for your school. When signing up for the race, runners must identify what school they are affiliated with on the t-shirt size selection page.

• Cash Awards: Awarded to the three lowest scoring schools as well as to the school that registers the most participants.
• Check Issuance: Award checks made out to the running program of each school receiving an award.
