Blue Bell Rotary Club, in partnership with Montgomery County Community College (MCCC) and Whitpain Township Parks & Recreation, will host the 5K of the Burbs & Wellness Fest on Saturday, Nov. 2.
Held at MCCC’s Health Sciences Center (340 DeKalb Pike, Blue Bell), this family-friendly event promises activities for all ages, whether you’re a seasoned runner, casual walker, or interested in learning a lot more about wellness to improve your health.
The festivities kick off with the 5K of the Burbs Run at 8:00 AM, followed by a one-mile Fun Run/Walk at 8:30 AM. Runners and walkers will enjoy a scenic route that winds through MCCC’s campus and surrounding area. For the 5K run, prizes will be awarded to the overall winners and the top two winners in various categories. Registration is required for both events, with a discount and perks available for those who register by Oct. 26. Register for the run or walk here. There is no registration fee for walkers.
The entire community is invited to the free Wellness Fest inside the Health Sciences Center from 9:00 AM to noon. This walk-in event does not require any registration, and you can stop in at your convenience. With a wide variety of activities and services for all ages, the Wellness Fest is a wonderful way to focus on your health and well-being.
