The Steven LoCascio Memorial Fund Heart to Heart 5k

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.

Everyone has been touched by mental illness in some way--either through our own struggle or through witnessing the struggle of a friend or family member. Please help put an end to the stigma of mental illness by joining us for the 6th Torrance Trot (benefitting the Torrance State Hospital-Patient Fund). Awards will be given to the top overall male/female finisher and top finisher in each age group.

Together, as a community, we will no longer stand for judgment and we will recognize that ALL people deserve to live their best possible

LAST DAY TO ORDER A SHIRT IS AUGUST 7th, 2026

There will also be a free Kid's fun run (ages 9 and under, begins at 0830) and all participants will receive a participation medal. We will have a limited amount of kid's size t-shirts available as well for $5.00. If you are interested in having your child participate in the fun run please call: Susannah at 724-459-4675 (you can still sign up race day, but this preregistering will help us with planning). In addition to the fun run there will also be face painting, games and other activities during/after the race...

RACE DAY REGISTRATION IS $25.00 (T-SHIRT NOT GUARANTEED)
