Light On Your Feet 5K - Cinnaminson

To run, or not to run—that is the question. The answer is BCF's "Light on Your Feet" 5k! Bring the whole family to our first ever 5k Run/Walk, benefitting projects and educational programming at BCF.

This flat and fast 5K begins at the theatre, travels past Wood Park, and continues through a tranquil and beautiful neighborhood in Cinnaminson. Start the day out with a yoga stretch led by Peace Love & Yoga. After the race all runners enjoy a free lunch, and a medal ceremony recognizing the top three runners in each age group. Plus, those who would rather cheer from the sidelines can enjoy food, music and local vendors right outside the theatre.

Date and Time – Race day packet pick-up and registration go from 8:00am - 9:45 am. During this time, there will be two group stretch sessions led by Peace Love & Yoga. The race begins at 10:00am.

Course Support- There will be one water stop at the half way point. All runners and walkers should complete the course within 1 hour (approximately a 19 minute per mile pace).

Registration- Participants are strongly encouraged to pre-register online. For all others, registration will start on race day at 8:00am at Wood Park.

Award Categories - Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age group— 17 and under, 18-25, 26-35, 36-45, 46-55 and 65+

The proceeds of the race will benefit several projects and programs at Burlington County Footlighters. Burlington County Footlighters, a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization, seeks to encourage the appreciation of theater and other cultural programming through public presentations of these artistic endeavors; to allow non-professionals a place to explore their creativity; to provide education in the arts for young people in the region; and to engage with our community through outreach and activities designed to further these goals.

The Intern Company - Designed for students aged 15-21, this program aims to provide an immersive experience participating to learn about theatre by handling every aspect of mounting a full-scale show: from acting, costuming, make-up and effects, writing inventive new scripts, composing original music, designing and building a set, marketing, publicity and more.

We will also be endeavoring to create a performing arts professional development workshop series open to the community, and upgrades for our theater.
