This year's Sesame Place Classic is the 26th running of this ever-popular event.

Sponsored by the Levittown Bristol Kiwanis Club and the Bucks County Herald, the Classic will have all the usual fun, namely a featured 5K, a one-mile fun run/walk, and a kids’ sprint event.

Each year, the race includes a free, one-day admission ticket to Sesame Place for all who register. Every runner or walker gets a “finisher’s medal,’’ which proved to be quite popular in previous years. Oh, and did we mention the cool collectible race T-shirt? (Due to the need to pre-order, T-shirts are only guaranteed to those who register before April 15th)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I push a stroller in the 5k or 1 Mile race?

Yes. A runner can push a stroller in the 5k and 1 Mile races. We ask that racers with strollers line up at the rear of the pack at the starting line for the safety of all runners.

Can I run in both the 1 Mile and the 5k races?

Yes, you may run in both. In order to be timed in both races, you’d need to register for both races. If you plan on running the 1 Mile as a warm-up, and do not need to be timed, do not wear your race bib for the 1 Mile.

Am I allowed to bring my dog to the race?

We love pets, but sadly they are not welcome at the race.

When can I use my Sesame Place pass?

The Sesame Place passes are valid from the day of the race, until September 1st. We do advise you check the Sesame Place website to check what attractions are open during your visit.

This walk is hosted by Linconia Community Center to support those who have been affected by cancer. Our purpose is to help raise awareness of various types of cancer, promote an understanding of how important healthy eating and lifestyles contribute to preventing, tackling, and defeating the disease. Black and brown people are at greater risk of losing the battle due to lack of awareness, access to foods that offer greater nutritional value, healthcare depravity, and their own cultural values. Destined to Win Cancer Walk is designed to support people of all ethnic backgrounds. LCC looks forward to seeing you at the walk.
