Participants enjoy an out-and-back course on a scenic, paved section of the famous, wooded Montour Trail. Whether you choose to sprint or stroll, you will be surrounded by a diverse crowd of all ages united by a shared spirit of giving. This event is designed to foster unity and empathy, creating a lasting impact that extends well beyond the finish line. It is the perfect way to start your holiday by making a tangible difference in the lives of your neighbors.
