$NEPA\u2019s Run the River \u2014 5K Fun Run & Walk$

It’s the inaugural NEPA Run the River Race — a water-themed 5 Fun Run & Mile Walk
This year, NEPA Summer in the City is taking to Wilkes-Barre to host a day long “Day Downtown Festival,” but we know it wouldn’t be a full day without a nice morning run/walk around Kirby Park to get us all stretched out for the days fun!
Volunteers will line the course with water guns and water-toys to cool you off during the course and keep with the water-theme of our race! Don’t want to get wet? No worries… just choose the right color shirt when registering. Blue will mean water and white will mean no water!
Prizes will be given for the fastest in every age-group and to the top three overall male and female finishers.
