SOUDERTON >> It’s time to dust off your running shoes and register for the 26th annual Moyer 5K Run, 2 Mile Walk, and 1K Kids’ Run, which returns to the streets of Souderton on Wednesday, July 14.

“The Moyer 5K is the largest annual run in the Indian Valley,” said Bob Williamson, general manager for Moyer Indoor | Outdoor and founder of the annual 5K. “We’ve had over 700 runners and 100 volunteers and supporters in recent years. Our event is special because we create a block party atmosphere, with music, pizza, popsicles, water, and people along the route cheering you on. It’s an amazing event, full of great energy all along the route.”
As in previous years, proceeds benefit the Moyer Indoor | Outdoor Cross Country Scholarship. Since the event began in 1994, Moyer Indoor | Outdoor has presented 35 students with scholarships.
