Projects Funded By Rev Run Proceeds

All proceeds from the Valley Forge Revolutionary 5-Mile Run benefit visitor experiences at Valley Forge National Historical Park. In 18 years, the event has raised nearly $700,000, including a record-breaking $80,000 in 2024. Even with the pandemic and virtual approach, the funds raised proved to be substantial at $42,000 raised in 2021.
