Thirty-three days. That's five weeks of solid training, two weekends of long runs, and one final taper before you toe the line at Washington Crossing Historic Park. Whether you're walking the mile with the family, chasing a 5K PR, or digging deep for the full 10K, the good news is simple: you still have time to prepare.

The park's tree-lined paths and historic setting make this one of the most scenic races on the local calendar. Let's make sure your legs are as ready as the scenery.

Washington Crossing Historic Park winds through nearly 500 acres of preserved land along the Delaware River — the same ground where Washington's troops crossed on Christmas night, 1776. Running here is more than a race. It's a trip through history.

Pick Your Distance, Build Your Weeks

Here's a simple 4-week framework tailored to each event. The final week is your taper — trust it, don't panic-train.

1-Mile Fun Run/Walk

• Week 1: Three 20-minute easy walk/jog outings

• Week 2: Add one longer 30-minute outing

• Week 3: Walk or run the full mile non-stop

• Week 4: Short outings, rest up, and enjoy it

5K

• Week 1: Three 30-minute easy runs to build your base

• Week 2: Add some tempo work — two 10-minute efforts at goal pace

• Week 3: One 4-mile long run, keeping it easy

• Week 4: Taper — short runs, fresh legs

10K

• Week 1: Four runs including one 5-miler

• Week 2: Interval work plus a 6-mile long run

• Week 3: Peak week — push to a 7-mile long run

• Week 4: Taper hard and protect your legs

5 Things to Do Right Now

1. Run the terrain. Washington Crossing Park has some rolling sections. Get outside and practice on surfaces that aren't a treadmill. Your ankles will thank you.

2. Sort your shoes today. If your sneakers have more than 400 miles on them — or if you've had them since the last time you felt motivated — replace them before race day, not after.

3. Practice your race-day breakfast. Find something your stomach tolerates before a run and eat it 60–90 minutes before your training sessions. Don't experiment on race morning.

4. Hydrate all week, not just the day before. June and July in Bucks County means heat and humidity. Start drinking more water now — it takes days to actually hydrate well.

5. Trust the taper. The last 7–10 days, your mileage drops. You'll feel antsy. That's normal. Rest is training too — your body is storing energy for the finish line.

More Than a Race — It's for the Community

Every dollar raised at the RevRun goes straight back into the people and organizations that make Upper Makefield and the surrounding area such a special place to live. Proceeds benefit:

• Upper Makefield Township Emergency Services Fund

• UMBA Scholarships

• Upper Makefield Volunteer Fire Company

• Washington Crossing Historic Park

When you cross that finish line, you're not just celebrating yourself — you're supporting the volunteers, students, and first responders who show up for this community every single day.

See You at the Start Line

Every runner at every pace is welcome at the RevRun. Walk it, race it, push a stroller, bring the dog — just show up. Washington Crossing Park is waiting, and so is that finish line feeling.
