Race Swag:

As we did last year, we will be using an "Ala Carte" method of race swag. Many of you have expressed that you don't need another t-shirt, medal, etc. and that you just want to support the Running Rangers program and enjoy a day out on the trail. So, we've cut the cost of registration and you can choose from a series of add ons to customize your race day swag bag! Race add ons are available until April 1st. Limited quantities of extra add ons will be ordered and will be available for purchase, first come first serve

December 1-December 31: $15

    In the United States, a person dies by suicide every 12.3 minutes. That is 132 people per day and half a million people per year. Luzerne County made up 54 of those deaths in 2024. It is also the leading cause of death among young people aged 10-24.

    To address some of these statistics, the Friends of Rachel Club is excited to announce our 2nd Annual Suicide Prevention and Awareness Race. This event is a pivotal part of our mission to raise awareness about suicide prevention, promote mental health, and foster a supportive community for those affected by suicide.

    We are currently offering a 9.88K (in reference to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline number), 5K, 1 Mile Memory Walk/Run and Kid’s Fun Run. Although event day is being held at the Hazleton Area High School Track & Field, runners registered for the 5K and 9.88K will not run their respective races around the track but the Hazleton Area High School campus and nearby. Actual course will be finalized and announced soon!

    [If you can't make the actual event but still want to be a part of the fun and help support us, you can run a virtual 9.88K or 5K anywhere you are and you will receive the same shirt as if you were running with us! *Please note that there are no awards or results for the virtual races, just the satisfaction of running for a good cause - and of course the awesome t-shirt you will receive for completing your run.]

    We invite everyone – runners, walkers, families, friends, and community members to participate and make a positive impact! Get involved in whatever way is meaningful to you. Register as an individual, start a team with your friends and family or join us as a supporter of our runners and/or loss survivors.

    Join us after the run for food trucks, tricky trays, kids’ activities (e.g. kite and bracelet making stations, arts and crafts, etc.) and our Candlelight Ceremony after the race, where we provide an important sense of community for suicide loss survivors and mental health advocates and create a space for us to remember loved ones lost to suicide.

    All proceeds will benefit the Friends of Rachel Club’s mental health and suicide prevention efforts within the Hazleton Area School District.

    Get ready to lace up your shoes and make a difference!

    Q: Is there a cutoff time for the half?

    A: Yes! Due to the heat, we ask runners to finish in 3:00. There is a hard cutoff of 3:15. Those who may run longer than 3:00 are encouraged to run the quarter marathon.

    Q: What is the course surface like?

    A: The out-and-back course on The Susquehanna Warrior Trail is flat hard-packed dirt and gravel. 90% is shaded.

    Q: Are dogs allowed on the course?

    A: Yes, dogs are allowed on the course. However, due to safety and insurance reasons, we discourage participants from running with their dogs. The race is on a public trail that allows dogs, so we do not ban dogs from the race. We ask that if you choose to run with your dog, you only do so if your dog has extensive experience running in groups and with strangers. According to PA state law, all dogs, whether running or spectating or just meandering through on a Saturday walk, MUST be leashed while on public property.

    Q: Are strollers allowed on the course?

    A: No. The trail is not well-suited for strollers.

    Q: Can I see a map of the half course?

    A: Yes! (And the quarter marathon is the first half the half). FOLLOW THIS LINK HERE.
