Garden of Reflection 5K (9/11 Memorial Race)

The Garden of Reflection 5K is a remembrance run and walk held at the Garden of Reflection Memorial in Lower Makefield, Pennsylvania. This event is connected to 9/11, honoring those lost and the first responders. The primary event is a 5K run/walk. A 1-mile option is available for a shorter course, and a 10K has been added for runners and run/walkers who can meet a 90-minute time limit. The race begins in the morning and proceeds regardless of weather. The 5K and 10K courses start and finish within Garden of Reflection Memorial Park, then proceed through local neighborhood streets, offering a rolling terrain instead of a flat out-and-back. The 1-mile route remains entirely within the memorial park, making it a straightforward choice for families or walkers. Entry fees contribute to the endowment that supports the preservation of the memorial. This marks the 25th Remembrance run, and early registrants receive race shirts as part of the event's tradition.
