Brian's Run

Brian's Run is a long-standing race held in Downtown West Chester, offering participants a choice of a 5k or 5-mile course. Initially created in 1978 to aid Brian Bratcher, a paralyzed high school athlete, the event has grown significantly, now supporting community members with disabilities. Recognized as one of the top races by various publications, it features notable participation from both local and international runners. Proceeds from the event benefit the West Chester Food Cupboard. The race day includes a number pickup, awards ceremony, and post-race activities at Stove and Tap.
