The Noah Compton-Meyer Memorial 5K was established to bring people in our community together to celebrate and support children and families of all kinds. The event is in memory of Noah, who spent untold hours running, climbing, biking, and playing in the South Ardmore Park community. Proceeds from the event will be directed to Caring Heart, a nonprofit that provides shelter, education, job training, and support for marginalized women and children in Noah’s birth town of Taraz, Kazakhstan.

The 5K course takes you on three rolling hill loops around South Ardmore Park, kicking off and wrapping up on Sussex Road near the Noah memorial bench and tree. A short Fun "Run" will precede the event, circling the park's walking path, which is the perfect distance for our youngest and oldest participants.

T-shirts will be provided to all registrants. Bibs will be provided to runners and the race will be professionally timed by the Bryn Mawr Racing Company; Results can be found at http://www.brynmawrracing.com

Refreshments will be available in the park (Northeast of the playground) and a water station will be set up half-way through the course loop. 

Awards will be given to the top finishers in multiple age categories, with a ceremony following the 5K.

Thank you to Lower Merion Township and the community for their support.
