1 Miles 5k Run Walk

The Bridesburg Memorial Day Parade is one of the oldest and longest Memorial Day Parades in Pennsylvania. After World War II, Bridesburg resident, Edward Dubeck's mission in life was to make sure people remember all service members who didn't make it home from war.

In the late 1970s, the United Veterans of Bridesburg was founded by Bridesburg residents, Edward DuBeck, John 'Moose' Muszynski, and the Commanders of both VFW Post 2 and American Legion Post 821 to continue to remember those who served in defense of our American values.

The mission of the Bridesburg Memorial Day 5K is to help raise funds to be sure that this special parade will continue to honor all who have served, past and present. Donations will be greatly appreciated.

In order to continue to honor all of those who have served, past and present, in defense of our American Values, The United Veterans of Bridesburg are holding this 5K Memorial Run and 1 Mile Honor Walk to raise funds to help make Mr. DuBeck's annual parade a success. The run will start and finish near the front of the Bridesburg Recreation Center. The run begins at 8:30 AM

    Charles Warren Stanley Memorial 5K Walk/Run

    Join us on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 8:30 AM on campus at Girard College for the inaugural Charles Warren Stanley Memorial 5K Walk/Run—a cross-country style event held in memory of Charles “Stan” Stanley, Girard College Class of 1967.

    A proud Philadelphia native, Stan was a devoted member of the Hum’s cross-country and track teams during his time at Girard. He was known not only for his athletic talent, but also for his dedication, team spirit, and unwavering loyalty to his classmates. This event is a tribute to his legacy, and an opportunity to come together as a community to celebrate his life and support the future of Girard athletics.

    Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, all are welcome to participate in this special Founder’s Day Weekend event. Proceeds will benefit Girard College athletics, helping future generations of students thrive, on and off the field.

    Check-in begins at 8:30 AM. Participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt at sign-in. Be sure to select your correct shirt size at the time of registration.

    We hope you’ll join us in honoring a true Girard gentleman—and help us build a new tradition grounded in fitness, friendship, and remembrance.
