The Paterno Family Beaver Stadium Run for Special Olympics Pennsylvania, presented by Sheetz, will take place at Penn State University on Sunday, April 27th during the Blue-White weekend. More than 3,500 runners and walkers of all ages and abilities participate in a 5K run or 2 mile family fun walk. Proceeds benefit Special Olympics Pennsylvania and the 13,000 athletes it serves.
This event wouldn't be possible without the support of volunteers like you! Volunteers are needed to help with registration, crowd control, directing runners, helping at the food tent and more!
