Charles Warren Stanley Memorial 5K Walk/Run

Join us on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 8:30 AM on campus at Girard College for the inaugural Charles Warren Stanley Memorial 5K Walk/Run—a cross-country style event held in memory of Charles “Stan” Stanley, Girard College Class of 1967.

A proud Philadelphia native, Stan was a devoted member of the Hum’s cross-country and track teams during his time at Girard. He was known not only for his athletic talent, but also for his dedication, team spirit, and unwavering loyalty to his classmates. This event is a tribute to his legacy, and an opportunity to come together as a community to celebrate his life and support the future of Girard athletics.

Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, all are welcome to participate in this special Founder’s Day Weekend event. Proceeds will benefit Girard College athletics, helping future generations of students thrive, on and off the field.

Check-in begins at 8:30 AM. Participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt at sign-in. Be sure to select your correct shirt size at the time of registration. 

We hope you’ll join us in honoring a true Girard gentleman—and help us build a new tradition grounded in fitness, friendship, and remembrance.
