LVRR July Summer Series 5K

The LVRR July Summer Series 5k is a free running event held in the Lehigh Parkway in Allentown, Pennsylvania. This race is part of a larger series consisting of five separate events held on the first Wednesday of each month from May through September. Membership in the LVRR club is not required to participate, and registration is open to the general public.

The course features an accurately measured distance on a mostly flat cinder trail within the park. Due to infrastructure repairs planned for Bogarts Bridge, the route may be modified. Participants have a time limit of 60 minutes to complete the course, which equates to a pace of approximately 19:35 minutes per mile.

The event follows a no-frills format. While a potluck dinner is not part of the program, the organizing club provides basic refreshments including hotdogs, water, and chips for participants. Participants are requested not to bring additional food to share.

Available distances:

  • 5k

Registration is restricted to individuals aged 10 years and older. All participants must complete an online registration and are required to check in at the Lehigh Parkway on the day of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
