From the Organizer
Join us for our first Christmas in July fun 5k run/walk! The race will start and finish at the lower parking lot of the Shamokin Area Elementary School, directly across from Edgewood Swim Club and will start promptly at 8:00AM. All ages and ability levels are welcome! There will be special surprises around every turn. Prizes given for 1st through 3rd place age-group finishers, along with a "best costume" award for male and female participants. This is more than a race, it is an event for the whole family! We will have food truck vendors, Possum Patty, Christmas karaoke, water play for kids, and more!
