Join us for the very first Meatballs on the Run 5K on Sunday, May 24, 2026 at 9:00 AM in Benld City Park, coinciding with the 72nd Annual Benld Italian-American Days celebration! This brand-new race welcomes everyone—whether you're a serious competitor, a casual jogger, or a walker—and your $35 entry fee includes a commemorative t-shirt plus access to free spaghetti at the festival afterward. The event is proudly supported by the Gillespie Cross Country Boosters.
