April Lycoming Mall Adoption Weekend

Paws Run 2018
2018-04-14 09:00 - 12:00 | South Williamsport Community Park, 545 East Central Avenue, South Williamsport, PA, 17702, United States
Our popular annual run/walk is family AND pet-friendly. We have walking and running divisions for people only or people participating with their pets!
The unique 2.5-mile run/walk and 5-mile run benefit the Lycoming County SPCA and caters to runners, walkers, and pet/human teams alike. All participants utilize the same course, which loops through the South Williamsport Community Park and Little League International’s baseball stadiums. Both the 2.5 and 5-mile run contain a short but steep climb up and around Little League International’s Headquarters and back down for an unforgettable view that makes the climb all worthwhile. And what would a dog-friendly event be without a division for dogs participating with their humans? The course offers water stations for humans and dogs and dog waste disposal receptacles along the course.
Thank you to our title sponsors Deb Schneider Wells Fargo Advisors and Wolf Run Veterinary Clinic, and our media sponsor iHeartMEDIA!
