About this Event
Runners, walkers, families, and community members are invited to lace up their sneakers for the inaugural Friedman JCC 5K Series, a three-race challenge designed to promote health, community engagement, and charitable giving throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The series kicks off on Saturday, July 11th at 9AM and continues with races on September 19th and the popular Ben August Thanks for Giving 5K on November 26, giving participants the opportunity to complete select races or take on the full series.
Participants who complete all three races will earn exclusive swag, compete for special awards, and be recognized at a year-end celebration.
Proceeds from the Friedman JCC 5K Series will support youth programming, camp scholarships, and Sara's Table Food Pantry, helping to ensure local children and families have access to vital resources and enriching opportunities throughout the year.
