About the Hershey Rotary Club 5k
The course runs through the Milton Hershey School campus, passing gardens, gazebos, and Founder's Hall. It is a scenic loop on school grounds, and the surroundings feel more like a private estate than a typical road race. Strollers and dogs are welcome, which shapes the mood on the course.
Packet pickup opens early on race morning, and same-day registration is also available. The race benefits Cocoa Packs, a local program that provides food and support to children in the area, so the post-race feeling carries some weight beyond the finish.
