The Healthplex® Sports Club has partnered with several local 5K road races throughout the fall of 2007 and the spring of 2008 to create a separate, friendly competition for Delco runners. Participants in any these races are invited to also enter the Race Series - free of charge - by simply completing a registration form.
Race Series participants compete against each other for prizes at the end of each race, as well as cumulative prizes at the end of the five-race series. Runners accumulate points based on how they finish in each race. Top prize is $300 and a six-month membership to the HealthplexÒ. Because points are cumulative, it pays to register early in the series.
The 2nd Annual Series Begins Sept. 29, 2007 with the Eagle National Bank 5K Walk/Run in Drexel Hill and ends on June 13 at the 8th Running of the Monk in Springfield. A complete listing of races – with links to registration information for each race – is available here.
Dozens of runners competed in the first year of the race, which ran from September 2006 to June 2007.
