The SUNset Challenge is back May 13!

StandUp Neshaminy is excited to announce the return of the SUNset Challenge 2k/5k race on Friday, May 13 starting at 6:40 pm at Maple Point! This race offers families, teams and individual runners two great courses: the 2K walk/run will stay on Maple Point property while the 5k will use the new walking trail on Langhorne Yardley Road as part of a circular course that winds through Middletown Community Park and back to Maple Point. The race will be chipped and professionally timed by RunBucks, LLC, each runner gets a t-shirt and medal, and prizes will be awarded in multiple categories and a school banner for the Neshaminy school with the most participants (based on percentage).

The evening will feature a DJ (Mr. Gosser!), snacks and drinks for runners, and more. To guarantee a race t-shirt you must register before April 22. Register at www.sunsetchallenge.org.
