Course and logistics
The course is accurately measured, mostly flat, and uses a cinder trail within Lehigh Parkway. Due to scheduled repairs to Bogarts Bridge, the course was modified in 2025. All runners must complete race-day check-in. The organizing club will no longer host a potluck dinner; the club will provide hotdogs, water and chips and requests that participants do not bring food to share. Directions list GPS address 1600 Park Drive, Allentown, PA 18103. Additional event information and a course map are provided by the organizer.
