Russell Elliot Park Readies for Annual Heroes 5K
Feasterville Trevose, PA · September 10, 2026
Thursday has that crisp, early autumn edge in the air this morning, just in time for daytime screenings and evening gatherings across town.
The Lead
Russell Elliot Memorial Park is gearing up to welcome hundreds of runners, walkers, and spectators this Saturday morning for the annual Travis Manion Foundation 9/11 Heroes Run. Held ahead of this week’s 25th anniversary of September 11, the 5K run and 1-mile fun walk bring together neighborhood athletes, local veterans, and first responders from both the Feasterville Fire Company and township emergency services.
Lower Southampton organizers reported strong pre-registration numbers this week, noting that the entire course winds through the paved and natural paths inside the park grounds. Race morning begins with a brief opening tribute to honor hometown service members before the starting horn sounds at 9:00 AM. For residents planning to take part, online registration remains open through Friday evening, while neighbors looking to cheer on the pack can set up folding chairs along the main perimeter loop.
