SAAC Hosts Annual 5K Walk/Run

Abington, Pa. – Last week the Penn State Abington Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) hosted its annual 5K-Walk/Run throughout the Abington community. The annual 5K helps serve as a fundraiser for SAAC to assist in the organization's community engagement initiatives throughout the academic year.

"It was a wonderful day for running with some great participants, sponsors, and volunteers, said Taylor LaPage, SAAC President. "We are very appreciative of everyone who came out to get this 5K Walk/Run started again, and I look forward to seeing it continue to grow in future years!"

After the race, participants were able to regain their strength with some yummy food donated by District Taco and Fill A Bagel & Breads!
