The concept for the annual Kennett Run race originated in early 1989 when Kennett area service clubs joined together to host an event designed to accomplish three major goals:

1. Create a camaraderie among ethnically, economically, and occupationally diverse residents in the Kennett area; 

2. Raise funds to promote the general well-being and civic betterment of Kennett area residents;

3. Showcase our beautiful region and draw visitors from various areas. 

Kennett Run Charities is a strong supporter of our Avon Grove Chapter of Meals on Wheels which serves nutritious meals to homebound residents of Avondale and West Grove.

From their commitment to raising funds for local food banks, to donating product, to piloting programs to ensure food is not wasted, they will continue to fight hunger so no one in Wawa’s communities go hungry.
