10k 13.1 Miles 5k Run Walk

Team Vark 2026 registration opens March 31, 2026 and is open to the first 200 people.

Team Vark is more than just a group—it's a community of runners united by a love for the sport and the camaraderie it brings. Supported by Aardvark Sports Shop, we come together for our Saturday morning runs to push ourselves, share the experience, and inspire each other. Whether you're chasing a personal best or just enjoying the journey, you're part of the team.

Training should be stress free!! We hope that you ultimately find the right program for you, but you can switch training programs to fit your needs with no additional cost. Feel free to explore another group for a trial period, or for a more permanent switch, reach out to us at [email protected] via email.

5k training: For the beginner to experienced runner. No running experience needed!

10k training: For the beginner to experienced runner. We recommend being able to complete a 5k within 6 months before Team Vark training starts in June.

Half Marathon training: For the intermediate beginner to experienced runner. Due to logistics, staffing, and safety, we recommend that you're able to comfortably complete a 10k, without walking, within 6 months before Team Vark training starts on July 11th.

This year our season will be 15 weeks long, starting on July 11th and ending with Bethlehem Running Festival on October 16th-18th. This includes 14 training runs leading up to race weekend. Runners on Team Vark will receive...

  • Team Vark race day shirt

  • 10% OFF at Aardvark Sports Shop from April 1st to October 31st

  • Weekly training runs

  • Supplemented training schedule

  • Discounted entry to Bethlehem Running Festival

  • Team Vark Afterparty

We hope you join us for our 14th season of Team Vark in 2026!

    T-SHIRT DEADLINE IS MAY 20TH!!

    Join the The Sanctuary at Haafsville on Sunday, May 31, 2026, 9:00 a.m., for the Fast and Furriest 5K Run & Walk

    The Sanctuary at Haafville is a local non-profit no-kill animal rescue in Breinigsville PA. We are hosting our 2nd Annual run/walk event, The Fast and Furriest 5k on May 31, 2026. All funds raised through this event will be used for the daily care of our animals including vetting and medical expenses. To date, we have rescued over 14,000 animals and placed them in loving "furever" homes!. These animals “rescue” the people who adopt them as well. They enrich the lives of the families they join. Our goal is to be able to continue to bring people and animals together.

    With a fun course, a custom-designed race T-shirt, and post-race refreshments, we’re sure you’ll be calling this 5k one of your most favorite running events and know all proceeds go right back to supporting the animals.

    We invite participants to run or walk the course which will be open to the public but will have traffic control on site. Race fee is $35 through April 29th ($40 after that date and NO race day registration.)

    Race Day Check-In: Begins at 8:00 AM - All runners must check in prior to the race.

    Awards:

    Overall Male 1st & 2nd

    Overall Female 1st & 2nd

    Age Group Winners

    NO DUPLICATION OF AWARDS

    While we love everyones pets we prefer you don't bring your pet to this event. We will be featuring several of the shelter dogs and want them to be the focus so we can find them homes!
