United Way of Lancaster County Run for the Rose 5K

Run for the Rose through historic Downtown Lancaster, and along the scenic Lindsay Pettus Greenway - a beautiful boardwalk and concrete pathway along Gills Creek. After exiting the Greenway, the runners will loop around a local school and head back downtown to cross the finish line.

All proceeds benefit the United Way of Lancaster County which addresses critical community needs in the areas of Healthy Community, Youth Opportunity, Financial Security, and Community Resiliency in our community. The organization funds programs in 17 local nonprofits and spearheads 9 initiatives to drive impact, and serves as the lead agency for the Lancaster Area Coalition for the Homeless, working to reduce homelessness in Lancaster County.

The Run for the Rose will be the premier race for the Red Rose Festival and we're thrilled to have you will join us!  After the race, enjoy the Red Rose Festival, the City of Lancaster's signature event featuring craft and business vendors, delicious food vendors, a Kids Zone, live music, an antique car show, a dog show, and more!
