Parking

Please give yourself plenty of time to arrive, park and check-in. Check-in starts at 6:30 a.m. There are 1,000 runners - 3 times the number as last year. Your early arrival will help to avoid lines and make things go smoothly. The race will start promptly at 8:00 a.m.

You will want to enter the campus from the main entrance at 433 S. Kinzer Ave. New Holland, Pa, 17557. There will be plenty of volunteers to direct you. They will be easy to identify in their bright tie-dyed Shirts. There will be an information booth and you will have no trouble finding check-in and the starting line.

Provided the ground is solid (there has not been any rain for several days) there will be plenty of parking in the grass field on campus.

If we’re prevented from parking in the grass you will be directed to paved lots within walking distance. Again there will be plenty of volunteers to direct you to check-in.

All Proceeds Benefit the Garden Spot Village Benevolent Fund

None of us know what our futures hold as we become older adults. Some are blessed with lives longer than anticipated. Some have unexpected personal challenges. Some have injuries or other long-term health problems. Most Garden Spot Village residents pay their own way all the years they live at Garden Spot Village. For some though, unexpected challenges make it impossible for them to pay their own way. Garden Spot Village is committed to providing excellent service and quality of living to residents who are unable to provide for the cost of their own care. Through the generosity of donors, the Benevolent Fund helps to pay the way for these older adults who have faced unexpected challenges. Because of the Benevolent Fund and the commitment of Garden Spot Village, these residents can have peace of mind that Garden Spot Village will continue to be their home.
