Run Time: Local 5Ks and Other Races In May

Looking for a local run this May?

The Alex Wake Memorial 5K Run and 1-Mile Walk will begin and end at campus on May 5. From Baldwin:

The 9th Annual Alex Wake Memorial 5K Run & 1 Mile Family Fun Walk continues to provide our community at Baldwin and on the Main Line with a better understanding of, and the resources available for, women’s health, empowerment of women, and combating domestic violence. In addition to funding an endowed scholarship in Alex's name, a percentage of the proceeds help underwrite Blue Gray's endeavor in support of Baldwin Athletics, including educational programs for all divisions.

There are also number of races happening across the region, including 5Ks for dogs, races for moms and daughters, and a half-marathon for the "odd" among us.
