RegisterKick off the holiday season with us! As part of the traditional Christmas in Wayne activities, the Elves race is a fantastic way to gather family, friends, and colleagues for a fun, festive morning. Funds raised through this event support the Library's mission to provide programs, collections, space, and other resources that enhance the quality of life for the entire community.
Racers start and finish this 5K in front of Radnor Memorial Library. The race is professionally timed by Bryn Mawr Racing Company. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place overall winners and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each age group. Age groups are: 6 & under, 7-9, 10-12, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+.
Walkers start and finish the 2.3 mile Walk in front of Radnor Memorial Library. This event is for Walkers who prefer a longer route than the half mile Fun Run/Walk. Stroller and wheelchair accessible. The route proceeds along West Wayne Ave. crossing Conestoga Rd. and turning left on Atlee Rd. Then proceeds through the Wayne neighborhood, back to the Library.
The Half Mile Fun Run/Walk is for all ages and is stroller & wheelchair accessible. All children 12 years old and under will receive a finish medal. Santa will be in attendance!
