Event summary

Join us for the exciting VRC Prediction Run on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, in Kingston, Luzerne! This unique event features a prediction run that spans between 2.5 to 3.5 miles, bringing a fun twist to traditional racing. Participants will discover the course map only at the registration table on race day. After checking in, you’ll predict how long you think it will take to complete the course—then it’s all about running without tech! The runner with the closest predicted time to their actual finish will take home fantastic prizes, including a Garmin Forerunner 55 and a Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins Gift Basket as a runner-up prize.

This event is not just about the race; it also supports the Running Rangers program at Northwest Area High School. Proceeds will fund a four-week summer camp focused on teaching children the values of running, such as goal-setting and teamwork. The community is invited to lace up their running shoes and participate in a fun-filled evening that promotes health, fitness, and youth development. Don't miss out—register early to secure your spot and join us for a memorable night of running for a great cause!

Organiser's description

WHAT: A prediction run to benefit the Running Rangers program of Northwest Area High School.

The concept is simple: the course will be between 2.5 and 3.5 miles and the course map will be revealed at the registration table on race day. When you check in, you tell us how long you think it will take you to complete the course and whoever submits a predicted time closest to their actual time is the winner! Prizes and raffles will be announced as we approach race day.

Bring your running shoes, but leave the tech (watches, phones, etc.) behind!

RUNNING RANGERS PROGRAM:

Our race will raise funds for our inaugural Running Ranger program, a four-week Summer camp that will teach children in our community the virtues of running, including: goal-setting, teamwork, leadership, persistence, and dedication. Additional financial support will be used to cover the cost of entry of our athletes to clinics, local races, and necessary team gear. Thank you in advance for your support of the Northwest Area Cross Country runners.
