About This Race

Lace up your running shoes for the 2nd Annual Bruce Hollabaugh 5K Memorial Run on Sunday, April 12, 2026, in picturesque Biglerville, PA. This inspiring event offers both a challenging 5K run/walk and a shorter, flatter 1-mile Fun Run, making it perfect for all ages and fitness levels. The course winds through the beautifully blooming orchards of Hollabaugh Bros., Inc., a fourth-generation family farm, providing a unique and scenic backdrop as spring blossoms begin to emerge. Expect typical race day conditions with highs around 61°F and lows around 40°F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation.

The 5K route features rolling hills that add an engaging element to the run, guiding participants past various fruit blocks and along charming farm landscapes, including a steep drive near Yellow Hill Road. The 1-mile Fun Run offers a more accessible, flatter path, ideal for families or those seeking a leisurely stroll through the blossoming trees. Beyond the race itself, this event is a heartfelt tribute to Bruce Hollabaugh, a beloved third-generation family member who was deeply committed to his community. Proceeds benefit the Bruce A. Hollabaugh Memorial Endowment Fund, supporting charities and initiatives he championed.

Join a vibrant community gathering complete with food trucks, raffles, and awards, celebrating Bruce's enduring legacy. Participants who register by March 22, 2026, will receive a free race T-shirt and a commemorative medal, with custom stained-glass medals awarded to top finishers in the 5K. The inaugural event in 2025 garnered immense support, raising over $19,000 and welcoming more than 270 runners, underscoring the powerful community spirit behind this memorial run.
