About the Event

Last Day to order shirts is October 4th,2025

NEW Last YEAR!! A 10k race will be held after the 5k. The 10k course is slightly more difficult than the 5k and uses some different parts of the park. Special prizes will be awarded to those who complete the Preston Park 15k challenge and run both the 5k and 10k courses such as a finisher medal, a hoagie and a hat. You did both races you deserve it !!

If you have not participated in the past, this 5K/10K is the perfect opportunity to experience Preston Park. Last year, runners, many of whom were first time visitors, enjoyed a wonderful fall day and praised the natural beauty of Preston Park - "Butler County's hidden gem." Be a part of this great day for runners and FPPF.

If you're a runner ... the course is not technical but very runnable, and one of those races that you need to do at least once. Walkers are welcome also.

There will be awards after each race.
