Fight Against Colon Cancer

This race has something for everyone!  Bring the kids, run your first cross country course, set a PR, or put together a team for some fierce and friendly competition!  TONS of great prizes!   5k RUN – 9:00 am start   1 MILE WALK – 8:30 am start   Not into a 5k?  Nursing an injury?  Pushing a stroller?  The 1mile walk is great way to show yourself some love while also supporting this great cause!   The Ironton Rail Trail connects nearly a dozen parks and two dozen historical sites in east-central Lehigh County. The rail-trail comprises a 5-mile loop around Coplay and Hokendauqua on the Lehigh River north of Allentown and a 4-mile spur west toward Ironton.  Beautiful trail to walk or run!  The trail follows the route of the Ironton Railroad, which obliged the future trail makers by creating a lasso-shaped corridor to connect iron mines in the ore-rich county to iron foundries along the river and the Lehigh Valley Railroad.   PERKS:  Short-sleeve T-shirt for all pre-registrants and post r
