Thank You, Mechanicsburg!

The 2nd Annual Unified 5K at Messiah University was an unforgettable celebration of inclusion and community. Whether you ran, walked, rolled, volunteered, sponsored, or cheered, you helped make this day truly special. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our sponsors and vendors. Without you, our race in Mechanicsburg would not have happened.

We can’t wait to see you at the starting line on May 16th, 2027!
