LVRR July Summer Series 5K

The event is a free 5K road race held at Lehigh Parkway, 1600 Park Drive, Allentown, PA 18103. It is one race in a summer series held on the first Wednesday of each month from May through September; remaining series dates noted for August 5 and September 2.

The course is accurately measured and is a mostly flat cinder trail within the Parkway. The club noted a course modification in 2025 related to scheduled repairs to Bogarts Bridge. The race enforces a 60 minute time limit, equivalent to a 19:35 minute per mile pace.

Registration opens February 18, 2026 and closes on the day of the event. The registration fee is $0.00. Participants do not need to be members of the organizing club to take part. Race day check-in begins at 5:30 PM and all runners must check in. Racers must be at least 10 years old.

The club will provide hotdogs, water and chips and no potluck will be held, so participants are asked not to bring food to share. Event information references an accurately measured course and the Parkway setting. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
