FAQ
IN-PERSON 5K RUN & 1M WALK EVENT
Q: Where is parking for the event?
A: Plenty of parking is available at Hatboro-Horsham High School (899 Horsham Road). From there it’s just a short walk over to the stadium where the race will begin. Please don’t park along Hatters Way or at Simmons Elementary School, as this could present a safety issue for runners on the course.
Q: Will there be water &/or refreshments available or do I need to bring my own?
A: There will be a water station at the half-way point and water bottles available at the finish line. There will also be light refreshments at the stadium after the race.
Q: Will there be any awards?
A: Medals and prizes will be given to the top three males and females as well as the top male and female in each age category, based on their finishing time in the 5K run.

Q: What is the significance of the snow leopard race logo?
