Coopersburg to Hold 5K Race, Health Expo & Kids Fun Run

Coopersburg, PA (May 12) – The 2nd Annual Coopersburg 5K Run is to take place once again, according to Jennifer Wescoe-Schaninger, Race Director. The 5K route is a scenic loop course throughout the historical district of Coopersburg Borough. All funds raised go towards the Coopersburg Business Revitalization Program and Make-A-Wish Foundation, which serves the Lehigh Valley.

This year’s event will be bigger than last year’s event, noted Wescoe-Schaninger. In addition to the 5K run, the event will also have a Health and Wellness Expo featuring local businesses and St. Luke’s of Bethlehem. All businesses as well as St. Luke’s will be promoting health and wellness in our community. The event will also feature a Kids’ Fun Run, sponsored by Liberty Bell Elementary School. It will be an 800 meter dash from the 5K start to the Coopersburg Borough Hall. Jennifer Wescoe-Schaninger stated, “I’m proud to be a part of something very special in our community. I look forward for our event to continue throughout the upcoming years.”

Mike Schlossberg, Coopersburg Business Revitalization Coordinator, commented on the importance of the event. “This event highlights the strong community spirit and business community of Coopersburg. It also raises money for charity. This is an outstanding event and we are incredibly grateful to all who are participating, including the runners, sponsors and the Borough of Coopersburg.”

The event itself will take place on Saturday, May 24. The 5K will start at 8:00 am at Coopersburg Borough Hall. The Kids’ Fun Run will start immediately after the start of the 5K at 8:05 am. The Health and Wellness Expo will start at 8:30 am-11:30 am and will be located at the parking lot of Coopersburg Village Center. Media coverage is strongly encouraged.
