From the Organizer

Register now for the fourth annual Run for Your Life 5K presented by the Run With Heart Foundation!

 

This beautiful course, which is a quick out and back, starts at the Kittanning YMCA onto the scenic Armstrong Trails.  If you enjoy a fast, flat course for racing or just want a leisurely walk for 3.1 miles, this race is for you!  Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome to participate.  Pets and strollers are also encouraged! 

 

Register by 9/25/2026 (date subject to change) and you will receive a long-sleeved tech shirt!  All shirts not claimed by the start of the race, become property of the race.  Awards will follow after the last participant crosses the finish line.  Event is timed by Miles of Smiles.

 

The proceeds from this race will go towards paying for bystander CPR training.  Greg Woodman and Vicki Williams are both alive and well thanks to bystander CPR.  Without this lifesaving technique, these two individuals would not be with us.  Join us in honoring their wish to encourage the public in learning CPR.  

 

*Race day registration starts at 9:00am
