About this Event

Project New Ngoma 5k Run

Come join us for the Project New Ngoma 5k Run along the Schuylkill River Trail! Lace up your running shoes and get ready to hit the pavement for a great cause. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun way to get some exercise, this event is perfect for everyone. So gather your friends, family, and coworkers and sign up today for a morning of fitness and fun.

This 5K community run is to raise funds for teacher housing for New Ngoma School in Zambia. Every step you take helps build classrooms, empower teachers to deliver quality education, and protect local wildlife. Whether you run, jog, or walk, your participation makes a lasting impact! We’re building futures, one mile at a time!

We will be running along the Schuylkill River Trail in Fairmount. The meeting point is near the Fountain of the Sea Horses located behind the Philadelphia Art Museum.

There will be snacks & refreshments included after the race. All runners will receive 1 free entry ticket to the raffle with multiple prizes. Additional raffle tickets may be purchased before the race. Cash preferred, but Venmo accepted. (Winners must be present to receive prize). There will be a photographer on site capturing race-day memories!

Let's run together to build a brighter future! Visit our website at https://www.projectnewngoma.org.
