Organiser's Description
START: 11:00 a.m. SHARP on the day of the parade. The race will immediately start at 11 am so that all runners will have time to pass the turn-around point quick enough so that the race does not hold up the parade.
RACE: This race is the first event of the season and is the oldest road race in the Scranton Area.
Course: This is a 2 mile course. The course is relatively flat with some gently rolling hills. The course will be run entirely on the parade route (see parade route map). It will be an out and back course. NOTICE: PLEASE STAY TO THE RIGHT AT ALL TIMES SO YOU DON'T INTERFERE WITH THE OTHER RUNNERS. The course route is subject to review and approval of the Race Director. Should changes be made, they will be announced prior to the start
REGISTRATION: Registration on the day of the race will be from 9am to 10:30am at the Lackawanna College Student Union. Registration will end promptly so that runners can have time to get to the starting line (corner of Vine and N Washington). Runners who pre-registered will pick up their race numbers and t-shirts here as well. T-shirts are provided by our sponsors and will be given to the first 100 registered runners.
FINISH: The award ceremony will be held at the Lackawanna College Student Union as soon as the race is completed. This is expected to be no later than 12:00pm, so that you can enjoy the parade.
