The SHIVER by the RIVER 5K & 10K is NOW. (And by “NOW” we mean a little over a month away.) The first one is Dec 8th, at Jim Dietrich Park, in Muhlenberg Twp. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m.; both races start at 10 a.m. If you can’t run all 4 races, run 3, run 2, or run 1.
The Shiver is unique in that at the end of a 5K loop, runners can decide if they want to go through the chute and finish the 5K or continue and do the loop a 2nd time, completing a 10K. Runners can run different distances each month or the same distance each month.
So come out and join us; it’s a great way to maintain your motivation to run through the winter. See old friends; meet new friends; and see your time get faster from month to month!
Snacks and hot soup will be served after each race. An awards banquet will take place after the March race; it’s free for all runners who have completed at least 3 races.
Runners can register online at Pretzel City Sports, or they can mail in an old-school registration form with a check. As always, we will have race day registration. The deadline for pre-registration is 11/15.
The ’24-’25 swag is a tank top. Racerback is available for women. Both are in bright colors. Register early to guarantee a tank top; we will have a very limited number of extra tank tops at the race!!


If you choose not to run the race, please consider volunteering. We need volunteers before the race–for parking and registration; during the race–on the road, at the finish line and in the farmhouse; and after the race–for cleanup. If you can help prior to the race, please plan to arrive between 8 – 8:15 a.m. If you can help with the race itself, please arrive no later than 9:30a.m. Look for one of the race directors somewhere around the farmhouse. Thank you in advance for your support!
Hope to see you there!!!
