Feed the Need 5k Walk/Run & Superhero Fun Run-event cancelled

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, this year 5K walk run and children's fun run has been cancelled. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Larksview Foundation will be holding its annual 5K walk/run and kid's superhero fun run to help raise money for children's nutritional programs in developing regions. We invite runners and walkers of all ages to participate in our live, in-person 5K and 1k fun run or in our virtual 5k.

The 5K will be professionally timed by Pretzel City Sports.

Register for 5K by April 20 for free T-shirt!

The 5K course takes place along the scenic, flat, and traffic-free canal tow path and trail at historic Hugh Moore Park and Canal Museum in Easton, PA. Gather your family, friends, and co-workers. Superhero Costumes are totally optional, but we encourage you to dress up and have fun! Walkers are also invited to participate using the same course. The course is stroller and wheelchair accessible.

If you don't feel like coming out and running or walking on race day, enter our virtual 5k event. Pick a course of your liking and run/walk it any time before May 8.
