Blueberry Hill 5K & Newberry Fun Run

Lace up for a delightful summer challenge at the Blueberry Hill 5K & Newberry Fun Run, set for Saturday, August 8, 2026, in the charming borough of Montrose, PA. This annual event, a highlight of the vibrant Blueberry Festival, invites runners to experience a picturesque course through quaint Montrose streets, featuring small, relatively minor elevation changes and a scenic section along a connecting trail. Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the timed 5K or enjoying a leisurely stride in the untimed Newberry Fun Run, typical race day conditions offer pleasant highs around 78°F and lows around 60°F, with only a 19% chance of precipitation.

The Blueberry Hill 5K is more than just a race; it's a celebration with a fantastic community atmosphere. Starting at 18 Monument Street, runners will find themselves amidst the lively Blueberry Festival activities. A unique school award category encourages local participation, with cash prizes for top-scoring schools and the district with the most participants. After crossing the finish line, refuel with a delicious blueberry pancake breakfast on the Village Green, then stay to enjoy a day filled with family-friendly events, including a competitive pie-eating contest. All proceeds from this beloved race and festival benefit the Susquehanna Historical Society & Free Library Association, making your participation a stride for a good cause.
