Distance Medley for the Running Rangers

The Distance Medley for the Running Rangers takes place on the Susquehanna Warrior Trail in Shickshinny, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in late April. Distances range from a quick one-mile run or walk to the Sweet 16, a 16-mile challenge, with a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles) in between. All run on a flat, compact surface. The Sweet 16 and half marathon start first, at 8:00 AM, followed by the shorter distances at 9:00 AM, and hydration stations serve every distance except the mile. Registration fees help fund the Running Rangers Fitness Camp, a youth fitness program of the Northwest Area Cross Country Programs, and "a la carte" gift options let entrants customize the experience.
