Small School win completes sweep for Lackawanna League

<p>WILKES-BARRE &#8212; The annual Bernie&#8217;s Run, which benefits area YMCA organizations, will be held Thursday, July 4 in the city.</p><p>The 3-mile walk/run is held in memory of Bernie Hargadon. Bernie, past YMCA director, prime athlete and originator of the race, who died of an unforeseen genetic heart condition.</p><p>Bernie&#8217;s dream was to create an achievable race for everyone. In 1984, he did it, and thousands of runners have achieved Bernie&#8217;s dream since.</p><p>Proceeds from Bernie&#8217;s Run will directly help provide access to a nurse for those who may not otherwise have the opportunity.</p><p>Bernie&#8217;s Run has grown to serve nearly 700 runners annually and their families and friends, and benefits the Greater Carbondale, Greater Pittston, Greater Scranton, Wayne County and Wilkes-Barre Family YMCAs.</p><p>The Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA uses proceeds from Bernie&#8217;s Run to support heart health and wellness programs. They use funds to create and implement beneficial programs with state of the art equipment so that we can serve our local community on their health and wellness journey.</p><p>Runners and walkers can register the day of the race on public square beginning at 7 a.m. for only $25. The run begins at 8:30 a.m. on River Street and ends at Public Square.</p><p>For more information, visit https://wbymca.org/bernies-run/</p><p>Also, the Bernie&#8217;s Run committee may be able to use additional volunteers for race day. The time commitment is typically 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., but if you can assist with registration it would be earlier, around 7 a.m.</p><p>Anyone interested in helping should contact Jamie Dudick at jamie.dudick@wbymca.org or Connie Scott at scott94@aol.com.</p><style>
