Every fundraising achievement will help us send more athletes to State, National and World Games. So make a commitment today to change someone's life forever! Be sure to share your experience by using #StadiumRun on any social media platform.
New This Year!
BE A VIRTUAL RUNNER OR WALKER
If you can’t make it to State College on April 23rd to participate in-person at the Annual Beaver Stadium Run for Special Olympics PA, but still want to get involved by fundraising and/or being part of a team, register today as a Virtual Runner/Walker! Join the movement toward making this world more inclusive by fundraising through our new Virtual Runner/Walker program.
What is Virtual Running/Walking?
Virtual running/walking is a way to participate that can be done at any location, any time, and at any pace at the distance of your choice (3.1 mile run or a 2 mile fun walk). You can walk, jog, use the treadmill, run outside, or you can participate in another "real-world" race. It's completely up to you! You can run your race at your own pace wherever and whenever you like. However, we recommend you do your virtual run/walk between April 1st and April 30th to coincide closely with the official Beaver Stadium Run on April 23rd. Be sure to share your experience by using #VirtualBSR on any social media platform!
