The Big Run 5K Presented by Fleet Feet

The Big Run 5K Presented by Fleet Feet is an evening community 5K in Reading, Pennsylvania, starting from 451 Morgantown Road near Trooper Thorn's. It takes place on Global Running Day, with bib pickup at the Fleet Feet tent before a 6:30 p.m. start. The race is timed by Pretzel City Sports, catering to a broad crowd: people chasing a PR, friends out for a jog, and walkers joining for fun. The course uses the Schuylkill River Trail, offering a straightforward local route tied to the river. Awards are given three deep in male and female age groups from under 12 through 80+, and every finisher receives a medal. The event also features local vendors and community partners, includes raffle prizes such as Brooks gear and a Fleet Feet gift card, and supports Girls on the Run through optional donations during registration.
