Hobart’s Run is again preparing for its annual 5k, Hobart’s Run by the River – and this year it will offer a spooky twist, as the event will be held just before Halloween.  The Run by the River will take place on Sunday, October 29, beginning at 9 a.m. (8 a.m. registration) at scenic Riverfront Park, 100 College Drive in Pottstown.

Runners are encouraged to get into a creepy, funny, festive Monster Mash mindset and run in their very best Halloween attire.  Special prizes will be given not only for the fastest runners but for those who are most “spirited” in categories including: Scariest Costume, Best Duo Costume, Best Group (3 or More) Costume, and Most Creative Costume.

This community and family-oriented fundraising event helps the nonprofit make an impact in Pottstown through its various neighborhood improvement initiatives, including the Adopt-a-Trashcan Program, Business Incentive Grants, Façade Improvement Grants, and Homeownership Improvement Program, as well as outreach that benefits area children and families in need.

Hobart’s Run is seeking essential sponsorship support from area businesses, individuals, and organizations. Gold Sponsors ($500) who reply by Friday, October 13, 2023, will receive a 4×4” logo on the official dry-wick race t-shirt and recognition in publications and on social media, and they may drop off or schedule a pick-up of promotional materials such as business cards, menus, coupons, and other materials to be included in race packets if desired.

Silver Sponsors ($250) who reply Friday, October 13, 2023, will receive a 2×2” logo on the official dry-wick race t-shirt and recognition in publications and on social media. Bronze Sponsors ($100) and Copper Sponsors ($10 – $99) who reply Friday, October 27, 2023, will receive recognition on social media.

Naturally, runners (as well as walkers) are needed for this popular, fun event to again be a success.
