7 running events in Danville, Pennsylvania

Bells will be ringing on this fast and flat horseshoe-shaped 5K course.

Start at the FQ Hartman Park Area in Montour County and dash straight down Front Street to the Danville/Riverside Bridge. Take a right and cross the bridge that stretches across the Susquehanna River, otherwise known as "Muddy Waters." You enter Northumberland County halfway across the bridge. Take another right and run down the D&H Avenue to the Merck Cherokee Plant. Make a left around a grassy area of a soccer field and green space, and head back on the Avenue D&H and retrace your steps back to Montour County and the FQ Hartman Park Area.

The scenery is amazing, and no matter the weather, you can't help but feel the excitement of running through the counties and crossing paths with the other race participants (high fives welcome).

This event series will donate to the Wreaths Across America.

Levee Up 2.5 Mile / 5 Mile - Sunday, March 8

The waters that run through the Danville Borough have created quite a roar through history. Several floods have run wild through the borough, causing the townspeople to seek protection and build a Levee system. Race this mostly grassy loop and take notice of the water that has carved its path and made its way over the banks into the borough on many occasions through history. Not Today, Agnus! Today we Levee Up and rise above.

This event series will donate to the Wreaths Across America.
