Fun run supports Geisinger Marworth Therapeutic Activities Fund
Runners or walkers can register for a 5k run or a 1-mile walk to benefit the Geisinger Marworth Therapeutic Activities Fund. The fund supports healthy, sober activities for patients after discharge, to help them stay in recovery.
Medals will be awarded to male and female winners in each age group and participants will be eligible for prizes in a raffle drawing.
Preregistration is $25 before Sept. 5 and will guarantee a race t-shirt. Day-of registration is $30 and will include a race t-shirt while supplies last. Check-in time is from 8:30 to 9:45 a.m. and runners will meet at the Olive Street trailhead at the Scranton Half Marathon pavilion.
Registration is open here. For more information on Geisinger Marworth and its Therapeutic Recreation Program visit marworth.org.
