Camp Innabah Fall Classic

The 10th Annual Ringer Run to benefit suicide prevention and mental health awareness is ON for Thursday June 11, 2025 @ 7:00 pm.

If you've run with us before, you know what a fun, family friendly event we try to make it, and you also know it’s a challenging course, which is why we invite you to The Stables across the street for some “carb recovery…” on us.

If you've never run with us, here's how we try to make it fun: lots of giveaways and random prizes, a water station, discount for High School / Collegiate Track and XC runners, finisher medals, a soft shirt, a (mostly closed paved path) course with a covered bridge, wetlands, a church, a tunnel, the local police watching your back, race village with sponsors and raffles and face painting and … a cool after party with a free drink, and most of all a meaningful cause.

As 100% of our proceeds are donated, we have already donated over $100,000 to local mental health awareness and suicide prevention programs such as A Haven as well as the Joseph J. Ringhoffer Memorial Fund, which was created in memory of a local fallen friend, and supports the Penn State Student Affairs Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS).

If you want to sponsor us, or know a company who wants to sponsor for some great exposure and to support our cause, please click the "sponsors and partners" link on the registration page, or email us at [email protected].

Virtual run option available: Support the cause whenever, wherever (your favorite trail, road, strand, woods, or around your yard 150 times). We’ll mail you all the cool race swag as a thank you.

All registration is done online - no onsite registration - so sign up today. Sign up a friend. Sign up your family. Sign up someone else's family!

As always, thank you for your support and participation (in person or virtually.) Hope to see you at the race!

The BEST Phoenixville running event (with the BEST finisher's medals) during the BEST local holiday in all of America, is BACK for 2026!

On Sunday July 12th, Steve McQueen and YOU star in the horror movie of the century! Uh...last century!

Every year, Phoenixville, PA celebrates Blobfest in honor of 1958's The BLOB. And every year, we throw a running party to help celebrate and support the historic Colonial Theatre that stars in the film! Join us as we start and finish right in front of the Colonial Theatre for our 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Kids Fun Run!

Course Decoration Contest!

Not a runner? Get a group of friends together to participate in our course decoration contest and you could win gift cards to our local Phoenixville restaurants. Here's how it works: Your group will be given an area on the 5K course to decorate in some Blob (or other monster/alien) theme. The only rule is that you don't obstruct or startle our runners. After the race, runners will vote for the best scenes and the winners will receive gift cards!

Location: The race starts in front of the Historic Colonial Theatre on Bridge Street! 227 Bridge St. The street will be closed to cars.

Parking: Free off-site parking will be available at Phoenixville Middle School (1000 Purple Pride Parkway). A free shuttle bus will run from 6:00 am to 11:00 am. 5K and 10K runners are encouraged to park at the middle school. Half marathon runners should park at the middle school only if they have picked up their bibs the day before (since the half marathon starts at 7 am). GPS LINK TO LOT

Paid Parking Near the Start/Finish: See the parking map at the bottom of our registration page HERE. Every year it seems like there is less and less parking in Phoenixville (and now most spaces cost $$ on Sundays), so we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE CARPOOLING (or walking to the start if you live close by). There are four municipal lots near the starting area. One is accessible by the driveway between the Municipal building and the Foodery (325 Bridge Street). The other is on the corner of Taylor Alley and South Main Street. There is also parking at the Borough Hall lot (351 Bridge Street) and the Smithworks parking lot (30 N. Main St.). When you park at Smithworks, it's a very short walk over the bridge by the Foundry to get up to Bridge Street.

Finisher's Medal: Every finisher in the 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon will receive an incredible Blob-themed finisher's medal!

Flexible Options: If you register for the half marathon but the day comes and it is very hot (or for any reason), you can drop down to the 10K or 5K. Just tell our timer at the starting line.

The Summer Sendoff strives to strengthen community ties while raising funds and awareness for a local non-profit organization. BEST BUDDIES is the official Summer Sendoff non-profit recipient. BEST BUDDIES is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, inclusive living, and family support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

A portion of EVERY registration will be donated to BEST BUDDIES as we run and walk to raise money and awareness about the power of INCLUSIVITY. Since 2024 the Summer Sendoff has proudly donated over $4,500 to BEST BUDDIES thanks to our registered walkers and runners!

The Summer Sendoff was originally created as a Graduation Service Project in 2022 by Downingtown East and STEM Academy Cross Country and Track and Field Athletes. Today, the Summer Sendoff continues as a community tradition each August.

Staged out of Marsh Creek State Park, this race is located just west of Philadelphia, PA and minutes from the Turnpike. The time trial swim takes place in 500 acre Marsh Creek Lake and features a single loop, rectangular shaped swim course. The bike course is a beautiful, well paved, single loop 20k course that takes athletes through a mix of technical sections and long straightaways alongside trout streams and forests. The 5k run course is entirely within the park and has beautiful lake views and a good uphill at mile 1. There is a ton to see and do outside of the race with kayak rentals, great restaurants and rural, back country roads. Click HERE to learn more and plan your trip.

Rain Date- Rugby players run in the rain, we prefer it!!

The Downingtown Rugby Football Club is a non-profit sports organization dedicated to playing, developing, and promoting rugby in the Downingtown Area for everyone from Grades K through 12.

Through its engagement with local families and youth, Downingtown Rugby Football Club helps expand the fastest-growing sport in the USA.

The Downingtown Rugby Football Club was founded in 1996 to attract student-athletes to the team-oriented environment, sportsmanship focus, and excitement of play that rugby has to offer. Participants and their families will find a welcoming, supportive culture that serves not simply to improve rugby skills but also to strengthen youths’ sense of self, discipline, and drive.

From its inception, the club has been coached and managed by an all-volunteer group of parents, former players, and rugby enthusiasts. In doing this, we keep the cost as low as possible so all kids, regardless of socioeconomic background, can experience this incredible sport. The Club costs cover equipment, uniforms, insurance, coaches' training, medical staff, referees, and field rentals for matches and practices throughout the year.

All funds raised support the Downingtown Rugby Football Club and All 4 Paws Rescue.
