Newton River Festival 5K

The Newton River Festival 5K takes place in West Newton, Pennsylvania, with the start line located at 108 W. Main St. The event serves as the opening activity for the local river festival. Participants follow a course set on the Gap Trail, a regional path known for its scenic surroundings.
