THE SUE CROWE MEMORIAL 33RD ANNUAL ARTS FESTIVAL RACES

The Arts Festival 10K is the oldest and most storied race in Central Pennsylvania. First run in 1975 as a 10 Miler, the Arts Festival race became a 10K race in the late 1980s. The course has gone through numerous changes over the years. In 2005, a 5K race was added and a new course created that combines the best of the East and West Campuses.  Proceeds benefit youth running activities in Centre County and the continuing operations of the Nittany Valley Running Club (NVRC.)
