Second Chance 5K Run/Walk 2026

The Second Chance 5K Run/Walk is a community 5K held at the Berwind-Wayside Festival Grounds in St. Michael, Pennsylvania. Race-day registration occurs in the morning, with the run commencing an hour later. This event is listed as annual, and its “second chance” theme highlights the second chance at life made possible through organ donation. Adults pay a modest entry fee, while runners aged 17 and under can enter for free. Early registrants will receive a race shirt. The published details do not provide a full course map. The clearest depiction is a 5K within the festival grounds, supported by a strong fundraising component. Funds raised benefit organ, tissue, and cornea donation awareness in Western Pennsylvania. The day's activities include medals for the top three finishers in each category, gift bags for participants, random Visa gift-card giveaways, door prizes, 50/50 raffles, a large basket raffle, and food from Rayne’s Backyard BBQ. Drinks and snacks will also be available during the event.
