A fantastic run. A spectacular event.

Thank you, runners, for an amazing time!

Join us on Sunday, March 18, 2012, for the fourth annual West End St. Patrick's Day 5k in one of Allentown's most charming neighborhoods.

You'll run the same course as the St. Patrick's Day Parade and get cheered on by hundreds of people lining the streets and partying in their front yards.

Then hang around after the awards for the Allentown St. Patrick's Day Parade, the largest in the Lehigh Valley. Enjoy marching bands, entertainers, local groups and much more. The parade starts at 1:30 p.m. and will pass the race start/finish area by about 2 p.m. It's an ideal post-race event for your family.

Proceeds from the race benefit the West End Alliance, a not-for-profit organization of neighbors and merchants dedicated toward the continued emergence of Allentown's West End Theatre District.
