The Alpha Pi 5k is the first 5k associated with Washington & Jefferson College in over a decade. The 5k is completely hosted and sponsored by the Alpha Pi Chapter of the ATO fraternity. The 5k features a simple and effective route incorporating the college and Washington Park. The race hopes to garner a large turnout to support the Lemoyne Center, an organization focused on after school and summer programs for underserved children in the community.

Join us at Oglebayfest weekend, Sunday October 6th for our 0.5k Beer Dash!
And yes, you read that correctly. This is a zero-point-five-kilometer (0.5k) event, a fun run around Schenk Lake. Head out around the Schenk Lake 'course' and back; just try not to spill your beer, it's bad for the grass! Go whatever pace you like - no matter what there’s a beer waiting for you at the finish line! The winners will be determined by a combination of their time and by the amount left in their mug.

On Friday, October 11, 2024, Homecoming Weekend, we will have our annual Cross Country Alumni 5k Run & 3k Fun Run. Anyone who was part of the cross country program for at least one season during their time at Grove City College is invited to participate.
Over the years the event has continued to grow. It is just as much a social gathering as it is an athletic competition. We have many alumni come for the food & fellowship and not participate in the race. The running time of each race will be displayed on the scoreboard and music will be played over the loudspeakers during the warm-up & races. After the men’s race, we will have a chili cookout in the tent behind the press box. Feel free to bring homemade chili, or a salad, side dish, dessert, etc. We will provide the beverages and plasticware. Come for the food and fellowship; the running is just one part of the night.
Parking will be available in the lot next to the Fieldhouse. We will provide T-shirts to wear as your uniform top, which you will get when you register. Registration will begin at 6:00 pm in the big tent behind the press box, which is the same tent we will have the cookout in. If you made food, you can bring it with you and set it up when you check in. We will have power strips, portable heaters, and flood lights in the tent, along with tables and chairs for everyone. You will have access to the restrooms beneath the press box. If anyone needs a locker room, they can use the lockers and showers in the general locker rooms in the Physical Learning Center. Ice bags will be provided after the races if needed.
An adventure race like no other... paddle, peddle and pace from the Conemaugh River to the West Penn Trail in beautiful, historic Saltsburg, PA. Solo Participants must be at least 15 years of age. However, a Child aged 12 -14 can participate on a team as long as that child does not compete on the paddle leg by their self. No e-bikes.
