O'Neal Memorial Cherry Festival 5k Run/Walk

The O'Neal Memorial Cherry Festival 5k Run/Walk is a family-friendly event held in North East, Pennsylvania, at Gibson Park. Featuring both a 5k run and walk, the course is mostly flat with a single hill, winding through the residential borough and well-marked with volunteers to assist participants. Known as "The Sweetest Race," it offers all-you-can-eat ice cream sundaes after the race.

Proceeds support the North East High School Scholarship Fund and Cross Country Team. Awards are given to overall male and female winners in both run and walk categories, with additional age group prizes for runners, plus raffle prizes for all participants.
