SHOHOLA, PA — Members of the Shohola Boy Scout Troop #76 will hold their third annual “Shohola-Barryville Bridge 5K Run/Walk” at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 18, at Rohman Park in Shohola. This event will serve as the kick-off to Pumpkins in the Park, a long-standing community event held in Shohola each October.

Proceeds from the 5K will support the Scout troop’s program activities, such as merit badge opportunities, summer camp fees for those in need and equipment for camping trips. A portion of the proceeds will also be donated to the Ecumenical Food Pantry of Pike County.

Events for the day include both a 5K Run/Walk and “Kids’ K.” The 5K course winds through the rolling hills of Shohola Township, the village of Shohola, then across the Delaware River on the Shohola-Barryville Bridge into Barryville, NY. A short out and back down River Road in Barryville is followed by a return trip across the bridge and then a loop through Shohola back to the finish line in Rohman Park.

The “Kids’ K” Fun Run, which is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m., takes place entirely at Rohman Park. Two age groups will compete, with awards for the top three finishers in each race. The older kids will complete two laps around the park, while the younger kids will run one lap.

Pre-registration to this event is encouraged. For race information, entry forms and more information about Shohola Boy Scout Troop #76, visit: Troop76events.com and follow the links for “5K Run/Walk.”
