Register online by clicking REGISTER at the top of the page. Consider if you will participate as an individual or if you will create or join a team. Register to participate in the 5 mile race, 2 mile trail hike or 1 mile run.
RACE TEAMS: At least three people are needed to form a team in the 5-mile race. However, teams may have more than 3 people. Using the cross-country method to calculate team time, the times of the top 3 runners on your team will be calculated to get your team time. Awards will be presented to the fastest three teams. Awards will also be presented to Top Friends & Family Fundraising Team and Top Corporate Fundraising Team.
SCHOOL TEAMS: Organize your school to participate. All registered participants will be counted- including 5-Mile, 1-Mile and volunteers - for eligibility for Top School Trophy. This is a traveling trophy which the winning team will house at their school for the year.
FITNESS CENTER CHALLENGE: The fitness center who brings out the most registered participants (runners, walkers, volunteers included) will be awarded the traveling Fitness Center Challenge Trophy at the Awards Ceremony.
CORPORATE GYM CHALLENGE: The company gym who brings out the most registered participants (runners, walkers, volunteers included) will be awarded the traveling Corporate Gym Challenge Trophy at the Awards Ceremony.

Dollars raised through the 47th Annual Radnor Run will support lung disease education, advocacy and research in Greater Philadelphia.
