Come run and walk with the Borough's Bravest Volunteers as we raise funds for the Burn Prevention Network's Camp Susquehanna!

What is Camp Susquehanna?

Camp Susquehanna is a program of the Burn Prevention Network that offers year-round online activities and a 4-day, sleep-away experience for youths ages 7-21 who have had a serious burn injury. It is an opportunity for children to have fun, learn life skills, meet other burn survivors, and process the trauma of their injury in a supportive environment. Although Camp Susquehanna’s campers are of varying ages, activities and groups are geared towards each camper’s developmental needs.

5K will begin at the Old Forge High School's Veterans Memorial Stadium, move through mostly residential areas, and end a block away from the Famous Revello's Pizza. Walking route begins and ends with the 5k route!

After the race; participants are encouraged to join us for a cut, meet our fire fighters, and cheer for our winners during the awards ceremony!

Prizes will be awarded to the 1st and 2nd place male and female runners in 10 year categories. Additional prizes for the top two first responder finishers!

Register by 5/18 to ensure you get your Race Day T-shirt!!

Tee-shirts will be included in 5k registrations, and available for purchase with 1mi walk registrations.

*Minimum of 50% registration Fees will be donated to Camp Susquehanna.

    Moosic Borough is thrilled to announce the second annual Move with Moosic 5k Run/Walk is scheduled for June 7, 2026 with a 9AM start time. The race will begin at the Moosic Youth Center, wind down Main Street and Minooka Avenue to Felter Field, pass by the Moosic High Alumni Memorial and Edmond Piaski Park on Elm Street, travel up Spring Street to Mary Ann Nawrocki Park, and loop back around to end with a celebration back at the Moosic Youth Center. New this year we have added a 1/4 mile kids fun run. Children ages 10 and under are welcomed to sign up for this free event which will follow the 5k.

    This years event will kick off the summer in our community and all proceeds will be used to reimagine and rejuvenate our green spaces in Moosic Borough. Last year, our community came together and raised an extraordinary $45,000—and those dollars have already made a visible, lasting impact across our parks and green spaces. As we prioritize public safety, maintaining and updating our infrastructure, and ensuring our roads are clear and our garbage is picked up, the Move with Moosic 5K Run/Walk serves as a reminder to take care of our parks too.

    Because of your support, more than $30,000 will be invested this April to update Edmond Piaski Park, breathing new life into a small but treasured neighborhood space in our community. We also resurfaced the basketball court at Smerdon Park, with hoop rehabilitation planned for this spring. At the Moosic Youth Center, we replaced the aging side door to improve safety and accessibility. Funds raised through the 5K also allowed us to purchase mulch for the Moosic Red Wings playground and upgrade the security cameras at Mercatili Segilia Park, strengthening safety for all who visit. In addition, through Bank of America employee volunteer grants, we supported the Moosic Little League in rehabilitating their picnic tables. These improvements are only the beginning. We are meeting with our grant‐writing partners and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to pursue a comprehensive park planning grant. Funds raised in 2026 will directly support this effort and help meet

    any required matching contributions—positioning Moosic to secure significant outside funding for long‐term park revitalization.

    We are blessed with numerous recreational spaces for both our residents and beyond to enjoy. Some are updated and well-loved, while others desperately need our help. By participating in our 5k as a runner, walker, sponsor, or volunteer, you will have a positive impact on our hometown. And we would be so grateful for your support in whatever capacity you are able to give back.

    About:

    Queer NEPA is an LGBTQIA+ organization dedicated to culture, community, and justice. Queer NEPA blossomed out of the 2018 Pride Series, of the same name, organized by queer, transgender Muslim activist Emma Maloney (She/They Pronouns). A highlight of our 2018 Pride Series was the first Pride flag raising in the city of Scranton. On Pulse Remembrance Day, June 12th, 2018, Queer NEPA officially declared its founding as an organization dedicated to nonviolent advocacy and advancing the cause of LGBTQ+ rights in Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA).

    Queer NEPA’s platform is rooted in equality and community building. From Pulse to Stonewall, the queer community has a history rooted in resilience and bonded by love. Understanding the past helps us navigate present-day, as well as create a better tomorrow. Queer NEPA is dedicated to a campaign of nonviolent activism for peace and LGBTQ rights in both Luzerne and Lackawanna counties of NEPA. We also believe in gender equity, reproductive justice, and the abolition of poverty. Through volunteerism, advocacy, & coalition building, we hope to see a society free of the systems of hate, violence, & oppression that have afflicted NEPA & the rest of the world. We also look to evoke change through the power of the arts by speaking truth to power & uplifting local LGBTQ creatives.

    Overall, Queer NEPA seeks to create a space where people can be unapologetically themselves, as well as raise up a diverse community that uplifts marginalized peoples.

    This race has been created to honor the memory of Raeann Rose Merlino and raise funds for the Memorial Scholarship in her name.

    Raeann Rose Merlino, 10, of West Pittston, departed from this world Sunday, Dec. 4, 2022, after a brief battle with the flu and RSV.

    Her untimely passing has left her loved ones with unimaginable sorrow in their hearts, for she was a beacon of love that effortlessly filled one with joy.

    Raeann, born to Jamie Merlino and Dawn Gazda on June 25, 2012, is remembered for her energetic, caring and strong-willed personality.

    She was a fifth-grade student in the Wyoming Area School District. Twirling and giggling, Rae was constantly dancing with exceptional rhythm. Her love of dance led her to cheerleading, which became a passion and outlet for her creativity and energy. Empathetic to her core, compassion for animals, especially her canine companion, Gus, was abundant in Rae.

    Raeann was always eager to help, whether at the Hughestown Fire Department, the Pittston Memorial Library or her grandparents' house. She had many friends, all of whom can agree that she made life brighter for anyone lucky enough to meet her. Water was certainly her element, and most of her summers were spent swimming with family and friends. Her freckled, smiling face was an embodiment of summer, and her shining spirit a drop of sunshine on Earth.
