Resolve to Race 5K Run/Walk & Kids’ Dash
As we begin the commemoration of America’s 250th birthday, a special event will take place at Historic Hanna’s Town on Saturday May 17, 2025, to honor the 250th anniversary of the Hanna’s Town Resolves, a bold precursor to the Declaration of Independence. The Inaugural Resolve to Race is a 5K road race that will begin and end at Historic Hanna’s Town in Greensburg. We welcome runners and walkers and kids who want to dash into history! The Kids Dash begins at 8:30 am, 5K assembles at 8:50 am and starts at 9:00 am. Walkers will begin at 9:05 am. We hope this will become an annual event to honor the history of Westmoreland and the beauty of the Westmoreland County Park at Historic Hanna’s Town.
Prizes for the best Red, White & Blue or colonial outfits! Commemorative t-shirts are guaranteed if registered by May 5, 2025. Shirts available after that day while supplies last with race day registrations available at 7:30 am on May 17th. Parking is free and on-site. The race benefits the Westmoreland Historical Society. Race strollers permitted, but please no pets.
Stay after the race to see the reenactment of the Hanna’s Town Resolves, Tour the Fort and Historic Site, visit the Liberty Tree, see the Cut from the Same Cloth historical fashion exhibit, and enjoy the walking trails. “Before the Declaration, Westmoreland had resolve…and we still do!”
A Kids’ Dash at the Fort will have gift bags for all participants 9-years-old and under.
