Races

Join the Friends of Lums Pond at Volunteer Brewing Company Sunday April 19 for a 5K through Middletown.  As Friends of Lums Pond (501c3 nonprofit), we are  a passionate group of volunteers working together to preserve and enhance Lums Pond State Park. Our annual Pond Fest, concert for a cause fundraiser is in October at Lums Pond.  The proceeds from this run will go to enhance Lums Pond. Help us fundraise to put an adaptive kayak launch in at Lums Pond so that everyone can enjoy kayaking on the pond.

Hustle to Support Families! Funds raised go directly to supporting families when they need it most during a child's medical journey. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Delaware provides essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare. Our programs and support services include our 52-bedroom Ronald McDonald House, two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms, and two hospitality cart programs.

Middletown's longest running 5k.  The Peach Festival race signals the original harvest of what was once the largest peach  farming area in the Nation.  All proceeds benefit the Middletown Athletic Club Scholarship Fund. (read more about the MAC Scholarship here.)      Please be aware, due to construction work in the park, we have had to move the location for registration and modify the course route.      Please use caution walking around the park and beware of construction equipment and uneven surfaces.
