St. Luke's D&L RaceFest

This race has something for everyone! Bring the kids, run your first cross country course, set a PR, or put together a team for some fierce and friendly competition! TONS of great prizes!

5k RUN – 9:00 am start

1 MILE WALK – 8:30 am start

Not into a 5k? Nursing an injury? Pushing a stroller? The 1mile walk is great way to show yourself some love while also supporting this great cause!

The Ironton Rail Trail connects nearly a dozen parks and two dozen historical sites in east-central Lehigh County. The rail-trail comprises a 5-mile loop around Coplay and Hokendauqua on the Lehigh River north of Allentown and a 4-mile spur west toward Ironton. Beautiful trail to walk or run!

The trail follows the route of the Ironton Railroad, which obliged the future trail makers by creating a lasso-shaped corridor to connect iron mines in the ore-rich county to iron foundries along the river and the Lehigh Valley Railroad.

PERKS: Short-sleeve T-shirt for all pre-registrants and post registrants while supplies last, clock & results board at finish, refreshments, instant results, time posted on the internet, course with no traffic on it. One free raffle ticket with a chance to buy more. Held rain or shine. No refunds. No mail shirts or awards.

Race is being professionally timed. All registrations before June 15 include a race t-shirt

Quadzilla Course Description: We will be providing a map of the Border Trail via Strava. This course offers a little bit of everything: rolling hills, water crossings, open fields, single track through the woods, jeep trails, and did we mention the rolling hills? The incredible vistas will have you believing you are no longer in PA but someplace out west.

Gender Identification: We at Quadzilla love the Lehigh Valley's diverse and ever-growing running community. We are pleased to offer runners a non-binary registration option, and everyone will be able to select the garment style of their choice, regardless of gender identification.

In support of participation of transgender and nonbinary runners with the goal of ensuring fair and inclusive practices that respect the personal rights and dignity of transgender and nonbinary entrants while preserving the integrity of competition for awards and records, we adopt the following rules:

Transgender Entrants

Transgender women can register to compete:

in the female division provided they have been undergoing continuous, medically supervised hormone treatment for gender transition for at least one year prior to the race, or

in the male division with no restrictions.

Transgender men can register to compete:

in the male or female division, unless they are undergoing hormone treatment related to gender transition that includes testosterone or any other banned substance in which case they must register in the male category.

Transgender entrants who want to register as nonbinary must follow the rules for nonbinary registration set forth below.

Nonbinary Entrants:

During registration all entrants will have the opportunity to select their gender category – male, female, or nonbinary. The top 3 nonbinary entrants will be awarded. There are no non-binary age group awards at this time.

T-shirt: You have the option of one masculine or feminine cut t-shirt or tank top with your registration. Additional shirts may be purchased at the time of registration.

Awards: Overall top 3 male, female, non-binary and masters 40+. Top 3 male and female in 5-year age groups from 19 and under to 70+. No duplication of awards. Top overall will be gun-time determined, while age group awards will be determined by chip-timing. Awards will not be mailed.
