Paoli Blues in Shoes 5K Run

A Run with Rhythm! The first annual “Paoli Blues in Shoes 5K Run” is one you won’t want to miss. Because not only will you hear music in your soul and your ear phones, but right on the trail. This is the first year for this 5K Run, a fund raiser for the Paoli Blues Fest & Street Fair which is swinging and swaying in its 7th year - a Free concert of the best blues bands on the east coast and 125 vendors! 

Back to the Run - the start/finish is on the Chester Valley Trail, just East of Vanguard Financial Campus entrance on Matthews Road in Malvern. For location check out a Trail Map at: https://www.traillink.com/trail-maps/chester-valley-trail.aspx

Run across the finish line and join us for Beer and Bagels, giveaways, raffles and massages. Bring a friend and run together, run as a family, run with a dance in your step - but just join us that day and RUN!

The 5K Run is managed and timed by Run the Day. Register now at https://www.runtheday.com/registration/race_info/33770
