LVRR New Year Run
The LVRR New Year Run takes place on Thursday, January 1, 2026, at Lehigh Parkway in Allentown, PA 18104. The event is organized by the Lehigh Valley Road Runners and is open to the public; club membership is not required. Organizers are seeking volunteers for the event.
Course, history and amenities
The event offers the following course options:
- 5 miles
- 5K
Both courses include a champagne stop along the route. The run was held before the formation of LVRR (1993) when two local clubs raced on South Mountain. After those clubs merged, the event continued and was later moved to Lehigh Parkway to avoid growing traffic on narrow country roads. After the run, participants gather at the clubhouse for hot chocolate, hot dogs, and sweets. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
