25 years ago, Bob Kierlin started running with his 10-year-old daughter in road races. Despite often finishing in the last half of the pack, Bob’s love for running never wavered.

From there, the BK5K Road Race was born and Bob was able to start a community event to support youth.

Bob envisioned a road race in his name — one that celebrated every runner’s achievement. Not just the fastest, but everyone striving to outperform their personal best. 🏆

The BK5K now raises hundreds of thousands of dollars. These funds flow through a meticulous grant process, supporting local youth organizations and programs in financial need. Merit matters, and the BK5K Youth Fund Award Committee ensures impactful dispersal.

Join us in celebrating Bob’s vision, resilience, and the spirit of community. Lace up, run, and be part of something extraordinary! Register here: https://runsignup.com/Race/PA/Scranton/BK5KScrantonPA

This post is dedicated to our incredible community members and tireless volunteers who pour their hearts into supporting the BK5K. Your time, dedication, and unwavering spirit make this race possible! 🏃‍♀️🙌

THANK YOU for your help and dedication. Let’s keep the momentum going, together! 👏

On race day, cash prize awards are given to the top 3 female & male finishers of the 5K race. Prize winners are welcome to accept the cash or donate it back to non-profit youth grants in the community.

Also, the group with the most participants at the race wins $1,500.

Not a runner? Walkers are highly encouraged to participate too! 😊

We can't wait to see you on !
