10K Course records:
Exciting news for 2024: We have introduced a brand-new 10K race for those seeking longer distances or gearing up for marathons. Both the 5K and 10K courses wind through the picturesque landscape of Norristown Farm Park. If you haven’t experienced running at the Farm Park yet, you’re missing out on a hidden gem. You can decide “on-the-fly” which distance you are running. If you start the run and you feel good, go ahead and do a 2nd loop for 10k.  If you intend to run the 10k and feel terrible, stop after 5k. No judgement! IMPORTANT: Anyone not completing the 5k in 45 minutes cannot run the 10k. Per park rules, we must begin taking the course down promptly and we don’t want people left on the course. 
Since the 10K is new this year, a new course record will be set during this year’s race.  That means that the fastest male and female 10K runner will each be awarded a $100.00 Prize!Both Male & Female 10K Records – Determined at the 2024 race!
