It’s a Wonderful Life 5K and Christmas in July Festival

Join us on July 25th, 2026 for our It’s a Wonderful Life 5K and Christmas in July Festival!

Run starts at 8 AM.

The run starts and ends in Downtown Indiana, PA.

Athletes registered online by June 25th, 2026 are guaranteed a race t-shirt. T-shirts are an additional $10 on top of registration. No shows forfeit t-shirts. Each athlete participating will receive a special gift for running in our event!

We know the cause for a 5k is important to our racers and we thank you for this! Profits from the race will support the Its a Wonderful Life Parade in Downtown Indiana!

Come join us during our 2025 Slickville Community Days celebration! The August 9th 5k race is a challenging backcountry route with several hills leading to the "coal mine climb" up the slate mound past the famous Slickville sign that overlooks the town. The 2-mile walk is a much gentler course through town for the first half and returning to the finish on the Westmoreland Heritage Trail where you can watch the runners in their attempt to reach the summit of the race. Be sure to sign up early to guarantee receipt of an event sports shirt in your preferred size.

After completing the run/walk, all participants will be treated to a complimentary pancake breakfast with locally sourced genuine maple syrup courtesy of the Slickville Community Church and Maple Lodge.

Registration is open on race day from 7:00 AM to 8:15 AM. The run/walk begins at 8:30 AM. An awards ceremony will follow around 9:30 but feel free to stay or come back later to check out the other events including a car show, craft and food booths, children's activities, a cow patty bingo and musical entertainment throughout the day and evening. A fireworks display will take place shortly after dark.

Join us for the Teresa J. Martin Memorial 5K Walk/Run, a meaningful community event held in loving memory of Teresa J. Martin, who passed away from ALS in October 2023.

Teresa was an avid walker who found joy, strength, and peace in every step she took. This 5K honors her love of walking while bringing our community together to raise awareness and funds to support the fight against ALS.

Whether you choose to run, walk, or stroll, every step you take helps support ALS research and services for individuals and families affected by this devastating disease. This event is open to participants of all ages and fitness levels—just as Teresa would have wanted.

Come walk in her memory, celebrate her life, and help us move closer to a world without ALS.

💙 Together, we walk for Teresa. Together, we walk for a cure.
