Beat Beethoven 5K...

• Beat Beethoven 5K:- Run 3.1 Miles

Mt. Gretna is a bit hilly but hopefully our runners, joggers and walkers won’t feel awe, fear, and pain in the inaugural year of this 5K run and 1 Mile walk.

Race begins and ends at the Mt. Gretna Playhouse and will take you through the scenic Mt. Gretna Chautauqua. The goal is to complete the course before Beethoven’s 5th Symphony finishes. Proceeds will benefit Gretna Music’s expansion of youth and community outreach programming.

T-shirts and goody bags for all that register by Sept. 1, including a ticket to the Sept. 10 evening concert. Bring your trusted and wellbehaved side-kick with you because the race is dog-friendly. Register online at runsignup.com.
