Get a jump on your Independence Day celebration at the Swarthmore Lions Independence Eve 8K (5 mile) and 2 ½ Mile Walk. The race will be held on Thursday evening, July 3 at 7:00 pm. This friendly, small town community race draws runners from all over the Delaware Valley. This year, we will be running on a relatively flat 8K route through the tree-lined neighborhoods of the Borough. The 2 ½ Mile Walk route follows the first loop of the 8K.

On-line registration is available at https://runsignup.com/Race/Events/PA/Swarthmore/swarthmorelionsindependenceeve8K

On site registration and packet pick-up will take place in the Borough Hall lobby at 121 Park Avenue in Swarthmore from 5:00pm to 6:45pm on the day of the race. 

The entry fee for both the race and the walk is $30 and $35 on race day.

Awards will be presented to the first three overall male and female runners and to the first three male and female runners in 9 age groups-10 and under, 11-13, 14-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 and over. Refreshments will be served after the race.
