 THE SUE CROWE MEMORIAL ARTS FESTIVAL RACES
The Sue Crowe Memorial 36th Annual Arts Festival Races
The Arts Festival 10K is the oldest and most storied race in Central Pennsylvania. First run in 1975 as a 10 Miler, the Arts Festival race became a 10K race in the late 1980s. The course has gone through numerous changes over the years. In 2005, a 5K race was added and a new course created that combines the best of the East and West Campuses. Proceeds benefit youth running activities in Centre County, The Sue Crowe Memorial Fund, and the continuing operations of the Nittany Valley Running Club (NVRC.)
