Look for the tent on Arlington Field behind the Arlington Mansion (Toppitzer Funeral Home)! We will kick off the day's festivities at 8:15 am and "Warm Up with the Y!" stretching with professional YMCA trainers and getting those muscles ready to run! Then - join the fun  at 8:30 am as we hold the 2nd "Inflate - a -Fun Run" as the UDSD School Teams compete to win the Schoener School Spirit Award!  As always -- look for special guests during our pre-race festivities!   Be sure to arrive in time to see who our 2025 special guest will be from 8:15 - 9:15 am!  Families are encouraged to complete the 5K or the 1 Mile Spirit Walk together and then... we have SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE as we celebrate our 15th year of keeping Brad Schoener's wishes alive for Upper Darby children. As always - be ready to hear LIVE MUSIC along the 5K route - drumlines, bagpipes, brass ensembles, ukulele circle, Delaware County Flute Choir... and MORE!

The MusicMan 5K is known for its unique finisher medals - actual working mini-harmonicas! Age Group awards are given (full size harmonicas) and Overall Male/Female race winners receive 14K gold plated harmonicas! It's a very musical finish!
