| The Bucks 5K Series is a non-profit organization that facilitates
and coordinates a series of 5 kilometer (3.1 miles) road races.
These races all raise money for worthy causes, provide wholesome
family activities, and improve the physical fitness of our communities.
The Series includes seven races, all in the spring, and all
in central Bucks County.
The all-volunteer Board of Directors includes the Directors
of each of the seven races, plus others from the running and
business community. There is no paid staff and all funds raised
stay locally.
2006 HIGHLIGHTS
The Series earned $82,000 for our non-profits, 36% more than
in 2005.
More than 3000 runners competed for the overall championship
and for awards in 14 age groups. The male/female ratio was 50/50.
The events also included 1-mile fun runs and 2-mile health walks.
The runners recognize the unique quality of a seven-race series,
the only one of its kind in the region. They enjoy the high
quality of the finish line and scoring, the safety of the courses,
the post race festivities, and the camaraderie of the running
community.
