St. Joseph's Liberty 5K

Lace up for a rewarding run at the St. Joseph's Liberty 5K, set for Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the charming town of Lucinda, Pennsylvania. This annual event offers a fantastic opportunity for runners and walkers of all ages to tackle a fast 5K on the scenic Rail 66 Trail. Known for its welcoming community atmosphere, the race serves as a fitting finale to the St. Joseph's 4th of July Celebration, promising both spirited competition and camaraderie.

The course itself is a runner's delight, starting at the top of a hill on Maple Drive and traversing an out-and-back route along the beautiful Rail 66 Trail. Described as having an elevation loss, it presents an excellent chance for participants to achieve a personal best. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at the historic Lucinda Train Station, where race day registration also begins at 7:00 AM, with the race kicking off at 8:00 AM, rain or shine. Typical race day conditions in late June see comfortable highs around 81F and lows near 58F, with a 22% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather.

Beyond the scenic course and potential for a swift finish, the St. Joseph's Liberty 5K is deeply rooted in the community, with proceeds directly benefiting St. Joseph School in Lucinda. Participants can enjoy electronic timing by Miles of Smiles, vying for awards given to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three in various age categories. Join fellow enthusiasts for a memorable event that supports a great cause.
