The 5K will be a level course mostly on Rails to Trails. The half marathon will traverse the hills of western Pennsylvania, span the Red Bank Creek twice, and there will be a rail trail tunnel to shorten your run! Race starts and ends at South Bethlehem Borough Building and will be timed by Gingerbread Timing.
