A Community Built on Movement and Connection

The Sewickley Runners Club (SRC) is a local, volunteer-led running group founded to bring people together through fitness, friendship, and community.

What began as a small neighborhood run has grown into one of the area’s most active grassroots fitness communities — welcoming runners and walkers of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.

SRC exists for a simple reason: movement is better together.

From Weekly Runs to Community Leadership

SRC is best known for its weekly group runs through Sewickley, where neighbors meet not just to log miles, but to build friendships and strengthen community ties.

Over time, the club has evolved beyond weekly runs into a broader civic-minded organization — connecting people, supporting local causes, and creating opportunities for the community to come together around healthy living.

The Sewickley Classic 5K represents the next natural step in that growth.

Why We Created the Sewickley Classic 5K

As SRC has grown, so has our belief that Sewickley is the perfect setting for a new community race that reflects the spirit of this town.

We created the Sewickley Classic 5K to:

• Encourage healthy, active lifestyles

• Create a shared community tradition

• Support a meaningful local charity

• Bring residents, families, and businesses together

The race is a direct extension of SRC’s mission: build community through movement.

A Local, Volunteer-Led Organization

SRC is organized and led entirely by local volunteers who live, work, and run in the Sewickley area.

That local leadership ensures the Sewickley Classic 5K remains:

• Community-focused

• Thoughtfully planned and professionally executed

• Deeply connected to Sewickley’s character and values

Every detail of the event is guided by people who care deeply about this town.

Hosting With Purpose

As host of the Sewickley Classic 5K, SRC is committed to creating an event that is:

• Well-organized and runner-friendly

• Welcoming to families and spectators

• Beneficial to the broader community

Our goal is not simply to host a successful race — but to establish an annual tradition that strengthens Sewickley for years to come.
