Chartwells 5K Race to Benefit Pottsgrove Foundation



The Chartwells Annuual 5K Fun Run and Walk and Kids Fun Run and Walk (boy that's a long title!) will be held Friday, May 13 at 7 p.m.

Proceeds from the run benefit the Pottsgrove Education Foundation.

Registration for the event, which will take place at the stadium at Pottsgrove High School, is from  6 to 6:45 p.m.

The route, which is wheel-measured, will wind through neighborhoods near Pottsgrove High School.

The entry fee is $20, which includes a T-shirt for all participants.

There will be awards for overall male and female winners as well as age group medals for both sexes.

Age groups are grades K-2; grades 3-5; grades 6-8 and grades 9-12 for younger runners. There will also adult age groups of 19 to 29; 30 to 39; 40 to 49; 50 to 59 and 60-plus.

Members of our PRIDE and FALCON Fitness programs will once again be joining as their culminating event to finish a 5K.

Elementary and middle school students have been working toward this goal for the past 8 weeks and many will run their first road race that day.

Zombies! Run! .... or, Zombie Run!


The Zombie Apocalypse is here!

No.

Wait.

Sorry.

It's the Zombie Fitness Test, which is a little less disconcerting.

It's all the brain-child of Rob Matthews, the proprietor of CrossFit on North Hanover Street in Pottstown.

(Notice how I got the brains in there? Clever huh? In case you didn't know the lore, zombies eat brains.....anyway...)

His first annual "Zombie Run" is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 3 and will be a 5K plus WOD or "workout of the day" stations.

See the poster below for details and RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! ....
