5K run & walk

The Friedman Jewish Community Center and NEPA Racing are excited to announce the kickoff of the Friedman JCC 5K Series with our Summer 5K Run/Walk on Friday, June 5, 2026 at 6:00 PM in Kingston.

Proceeds from the race will benefit JCC Summer Camp programming and scholarships, helping provide local children with memorable summer experiences in a safe, active, and welcoming environment.

The race is taking place during NEPA Gives, a 24-hour online giving event that brings the community together to support local nonprofits across Northeastern Pennsylvania. Following the race, participants and community members are invited to stay for a NEPA Gives celebration featuring awards, music, and community fun.

The race will begin and end at the Sidney and Pauline Friedman Jewish Community Center, located at 613 S J Strauss Lane, Kingston, PA 18704. Participants will travel from the JCC through Kingston and along the levee into Kirby Park before returning to the JCC finish line.
