Organized by East Falls Fitness and the Friends of Laurel Hill Cemetery, the Rest in Peace 5k is a unique and challenging run through Laurel Hill Cemetery, a National Historic Landmark located in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia. Don’t let the beautiful scenery fool you; the course is packed with plenty of hills, twists and turns! Compete solo or with a team as you run past undead course directors and mile markers. Have no fear, our dance warm-up will get you ready to run! |
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Friends of Laurel Hill Cemetery, a 501c3 nonprofit that works to preserve and promote the historical character of Laurel Hill Cemetery through educational programs and public outreach. If you needed an awesome reason to don a costume and party down for Halloween, we just gave you one. You're welcome. |
This isn’t your run of the mill 5K. You’ll be in a cemetery during October so now isn’t the time to get shy about your costume creativity. Grab your partner or your friends and beat out the competition for Best Couple or Group Costume. Want to keep all of the cool prizes to yourself? Show up by yourself in something outstanding and head home with Best Overall Costume. |
Following the run, join us for our after-party at Laurel Hill Cemetery featuring free beer, spooky treats, and a DJ spinning great party tunes and Halloween hits for our runners! Stretch out with complimentary massages, visit cool vendors and memorialize it all with your friends in our Phantom Photo Booth! Prizes will be given out for best costumes and to the winners of the run. Don't forget your wallets! Buy some raffle tickets for a chance to win some top-notch prizes and merchandise. Proceeds will support our charitable cause. |
