Swarthmore Recreation Association’s New Year's Day 5K

Kick off the new year with the Swarthmore Recreation Association!

The SRA New Year's Day 5K is a fun Swarthmore tradition that the whole family can enjoy. Ring in the new year walking or jogging through our beautiful borough of Swarthmore. Our USTAF-certified 5K course begins near the Swarthmore College Fieldhouse, winds through town, and ends on the Swarthmore College Track. A fun kids dash (free, no registration required) will take place at 11:30am.

Bib and Shirt Pick up

For racers registered by December 30th, check back for the day and time to pick up your bib and shirt at Bryn Mawr Running Company in Media, PA.

Child Watch

Do you and your backup kid-watcher both want to run? Onsite babysitting will be provided by SRA’s teen sports mentors for potty-trained youngsters aged 4-12 in the Swarthmore College Fieldhouse. This is only for children of registered runners and space is very limited. After you register for the race, sign up here.
