Beaver Stadium Run – Sunday, April 16th, 2023
Members of the Penn State Karate Club have participated in the every Beaver Stadium Run since it started, supporting Special Olympics Pennsylvania.
This year instead of finishing at the 50 yard line, the 5K will finish at the 34 yard line in Beaver Stadium in honour of Franco Harris. 34 was Franco’s number when he played football for Penn State.
Come join us for the Beaver Stadium Run on April 16th, Blue & White weekend. For more information visit:
