    Trick or treat…move your feet! Kick of your Halloween season in the right way. The 3rd Annual Rest In Peace 5K is a unique and challenging run through the grounds of Laurel Hill Cemetery, a National Historic Landmark site located in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia. With over 78 acres of grand architecture, stunning statuary, rolling landscapes, and majestic views of the Schuylkill River, Laurel Hill provides an appropriately cool albeit creepy course for runners – or walkers – of all ages and fitness levels. Participants and spectators alike are encouraged to attend in Halloween attire. Following the run, join us for our after-party featuring live music and free beer. Prizes will be given for the best costumes, as well as to the winners of the run! Don't forget your wallets... Buy some raffle tickets for a chance to win some top-notch prizes and merchandise... Or, pair your beer with some tasty bites from a selection of food vendors; a portion of all proceeds will support our charitable causes.

    Organized by East Falls Fitness, the Rest In Peace 5K is a charity run benefitting the diverse communities served by Gearing Up and the Friends of Laurel Hill Cemetery, two nonprofit groups working to enhance lives and further opportunities within the Philadelphia region.
