Haverford Twilight 5K Run & Walk

Haverford Twilight 5K Run & Walk

WHAT:  The Twilight Run is a signature event sponsored by the Haverford Township School District Education Foundation. Proceeds from the race directly support the Foundation’s Mini Grant and Empowerment Grant programs, which fund innovative and inspiring educational initiatives across our district schools.

This year, we’re excited to debut a new race location at Lynnewood Elementary School. The course will start at Lynnewood and wind through the surrounding neighborhoods and main streets, creating a fun and vibrant race experience for runners of all ages.

The evening is about more than just the run. Participants and families can enjoy kids’ activities, music, and post-race snacks, making it a true community celebration.

We can’t wait to welcome runners, families, and supporters back for an unforgettable Twilight Run!
