CK5K: Carolyn Keen Memorial 5k Run/ 1 Mile Walk

The CK5K welcomes runners and walkers of all levels and ages! This year's race/walk will take place in person on Saturday, September 19 at Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School (Address: 1345 Sumneytown Pike, Gwynedd Valley, PA 19437). Pre-race activities will begin at 8am, with the race/walk at 9am. The event will take place virtually from Saturday, September 12 through Monday, September 21. We encourage all participants to post their run/walk on social media using #CK5K. 

The CK5K event raises funds to support the Carolyn Keen’10 Memorial Scholarship  that  was  started  in  memory  of Carolyn Keen ‘10 who lost her life in a car accident in her junior year. Carolyn was a member of the Cross Country and Track team so a 5K is a perfect way to celebrate her talents and contributions to the Gwynedd community and keep her memory alive. The scholarship is awarded each year to a rising Junior at Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School who, like Carolyn, has displayed admirable dedication and commitment to her school, and whose family will benefit from the assistance with her tuition.

Registration: $30 (plus processing fee). Online registration will be open through September 18 and in-person registration from 8-8:30am on September 19.
