THE SUE CROWE MEMORIAL ARTS FESTIVAL RACES

The Sue Crowe Memorial 38th Annual Arts Festival Races
The Arts Festival Races are the oldest and most storied in Central Pennsylvania. First run in 1975 as a 10 Miler, the Arts Festival race became a 10K race in the late 1980s. In 2005, a 5K race was added and a new course created that combines the best of the East and West Campuses.  This year we are bringing back the 10 miler!  Proceeds benefit youth running activities in Centre County and the continuing operations of the Nittany Valley Running Club.
