    The Build-N-Athlete 10K, 5K & Kids Fun Run is more than just a race—it’s an opportunity to empower young athletes and break down financial barriers to youth sports. All proceeds from this event directly support Build-N-Athlete, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing sports equipment to children in need throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania.

    Set for Sunday, May 31, 2026, at the Blakely Borough Recreational Complex, the Build-N-Athlete race returns for its second year along the scenic Lackawanna River Heritage Trail. After a successful inaugural event, runners once again have the opportunity to take on the fast and scenic 5K or 10K courses, while walkers can participate at their own pace.

    Whether you're chasing a personal record, looking for a fun community event, or running to support youth athletes, this race offers something for everyone.

    What is Build-N-Athlete?

    Build-N-Athlete is a nonprofit organization committed to ensuring every child has access to sports, regardless of financial circumstances. By eliminating the cost barriers associated with equipment, we strive to give all young athletes the opportunity to play, grow and compete.

    In addition to our 10K, 5K, and Walk, we’re excited to host a FREE Kids Fun Run as part of our #OperationTouchGrass initiative, which encourages kids to step away from screens and experience the joy of movement. The Kids Fun Run will take place after the awards ceremony, so be sure to stick around and cheer on the young athletes!

    This event isn’t just about running—it’s about building confidence, fostering community and ensuring that every child has the chance to play.

    Lace up your shoes and be a part of something bigger. Let’s build together!

    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.

    The rugged trail race you know and love is back for its 14th year in 2026! Participants can choose from a 5K, 10K or 50K option. All courses are technical trails through a beautiful old-growth forest with spectacular scenery.

    The 5K will feature a course that is almost entirely on trail. The 10K course includes a flat, fast section to feature the beautiful Wetlands trail as you run past fields and streams. Don't worry, you'll still get your 3 steep climbs, technical descents and stunning sights.

    For those who really want a challenge, register for the 50K. This gnarly and beautiful course will be 5 loops on the 10K course, totaling 7,000+ feet of elevation gain. Want to read more about the 50K (or any of the races, really)? Check out this review by Inaugural Overall Winner Cole Crosby!

    All three courses will throw a little bit of everything at you: steep climbs, fast runnable single track, and technical descents. This event is true PA trail running.

    This race is to benefit the Friends of Salt Springs Park, which is an entirely volunteer-run entity (the only State Park run by volunteers in PA!), to help maintain and conserve the beautiful trails we get to spend the day on. Consider adding a donation!

    Stick around after your race to enjoy food, beverages and camaraderie. More details to come.

    All races will be chip timed by Falcon Race Timing.

    Deadline to order a race shirt is TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2026. Limited sizes may be available for purchase the day of.

    Learn more about Salt Springs State Park at friendsofsaltspringspark.org

    Questions? Email Chris and Elisabeth at [email protected].

    50K Details

    There will be a fully stocked aid station at the start of each loop (approximately every 6.5 miles). Any fueling or nutrition outside of that or needed on course will need to be carried with you.

    No pacers. Poles are ok but not necessary.

    You will be able to leave any personal items/drop bag at the aid station area.

    This is not a beginner friendly 50K, and this is not a lenient cutoff. Runners must start their last lap no later than 4:00 pm. If you fail to start your last loop by 4:00 pm you will not be allowed back out onto the course.

    The 50K course cutoff is 6:30 pm sharp.

    Refund Policy

    Things happen. We get that. We have a no refund policy, but if you let us know of your plans 30 days before the race, we will defer your entry. No deferrals within 30 days of the event.
