Beginning as a centennial celebration for Narberth Borough in 1995, the Narberth 5 Mile Run has flourished to become one of the best small town five milers in the country. 25 years ago, the McCloskey and Nardi families, both from Narberth and both having sons living with cystic fibrosis (CF) continued hosting the event. Proceeds from the first Narberth CF Run supported a wish for a local child battling cystic fibrosis (CF), who received his care at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He and his family took a breather from CF and enjoyed a magical trip to Disney World. Since then we provided over 250 “breathers” for children and adults battling this disease.

FUNDRAISE

To celebrate our 25th Anniversary we are asking that each runner/walker raise money and help us in our mission to give those battling cystic fibrosis, a terminal illness that takes the lives of its victims way to early and for which there is no cure, the opportunity to take a breather from their disease in the form of a wish respite.

After you register you will be sent your very own personal fundraising page which you can easily share with your family, friends and colleagues. If 5 people sponsor you for $25/mile, you will be supporting a child’s day at Disney World… Thank you!
