The Hope for Cope 5K Run & 1 mile Fun run/ walk will be held June 2nd, 2012 at John Rudy County Park.

All profits at The Hope for Cope 5k  & 1 mile fun run/walk go directly to The Hope for Cope Foundation and the fight against childhood cancer.

Our event has an official race timer by The York Road Runners Club and results are promptly posted on our website at www.hopeforcope.org and in the York Daily Record. We have lots of door prizes, raffles and great top finisher prizes. The course has been redesigned from last year but it remains a fun cross country style course. There is a water stop at the 1.5 mile marker and plenty of refreshments & drinks for all at the finishers pavilion. We hope to see you there & Thank you for considering participating at our event and helping in the fight against childhood cancer. For additional information please go towww.hopeforcope.org.
