2023 Bridgeport 5K - Saturday September 30, 2023
The 2023 Bridgeport 5K - Saturday, September 30, 2023
This year marks our sixth annual 5K (would be 7 if not for 2020!), and we are going back to where we began in a sense. Our first 5K saw the proceeds generated from the event donated to the Bridgeport Volunteer Fire Department. Now here we are again in 2023, and Bridgeport Fire Department is again one of our beneficiaries - along with the Upper Merion Area Community Cupboard. Two amazing local organizations that provide vital services to the Bridgeport Borough community.
There is still time to register for the 2023 Bridgeport 5K if you are interested - please visit this link to REGISTER.
The race begins and ends at Rotondo Riverfront Park, on Falls View Drive, behind Frosty Falls. Day-of registration begins at 7:30am on Saturday morning, and the race will start at 9am. The race is timed by Bryn Mawr Racing as always. Awards will be presented to the top 3 male and female finishers, as well as the top placements in each of our age brackets.
We have another great lineup of exhibitors and amenities for this year's event, including the following:
*DJ and Master of Ceremonies by John Keane of Farmer's Insurance
*National Anthem sung by Mark Shepperd
*Donuts courtesy of Suzy Jo Donuts
*Snacks, coffee and drinks provided by Bridgeport Borough
