The entire race will take place in the park and runners will be able to test their abilities on different terrains as they explore the ins and outs of one of the town’s most notable landscapes, according to the press release.

The event is being sponsored by the Allentown Recreation Commission, which is committed to improving recreational resources and activities in the community, acquiring property for recreational purposes, maintaining parkland and equipment, and improving current public playgrounds, recreation places and the approach to those properties, according to the press release.
Race day packets, which include a racing bib and T-shirt, may be picked up the morning of the race between 8-8:45 a.m. at Heritage Park.
