HAVERFORD, Pa. - The 17th annual Joe Schwartz '83 Memorial 3K Run/Walk will be held on the campus of Haverford College on Sunday, April 7, 2024. The race, supporting Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research, will begin and end at Haverford College's Founders Green.
The 3K Run/Walk was designed to attract the running superstar and the walking novice because that is exactly how Joe would want it. He simply loved people lacing up their shoes and enjoying the freedom to run and walk, a freedom that was deprived from Joe by ALS. Proceeds will be donated to The ALS Association and directed towards ALS research and patient services.
Beginning April 1, various events will be taking place all over campus to engage the Haverford community and increase education on topics related to ALS. To finish off the week, the annual Run/Walk will be happening on Sunday, April 7 followed by lawn games, a food truck, and live music! The events are open to all members of the Haverford community, so please bring friends and/or family along with you. The schedule of keynote events for the jam-packed week is as follows:
