The Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce (SVCC) and Visitors Center, a nonprofit organization, will host the 11th annual MAG Memorial 5K Fall Flash on Saturday, Nov. 2. The event is named in memory of Melissa A. Glenn, former executive director of Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce.
The course crosses the Susquehanna River via the Veterans Memorial Bridge (Route 462) between Lancaster and York counties, and the bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic during the event. Runners may enjoy the scenic course against the fall foliage of the river valley. The Fall Flash will begin in Wrightsville at 8:30 a.m. and finish against this autumn backdrop.
Following the race, medals will be awarded to the top male and female overall champions as well as to the top three male and female finishers in 13 age groups. Door prizes donated by local businesses will complete the awards ceremony.
The Fall Flash will be held rain or shine. Timing services will be furnished by Ron Horn of Pretzel City Sports of Reading. Walkers are welcome, but pets and backpacks are prohibited.
Preregistration is available through the SVCC Visitors Center. A T-shirt will be available with runner registration while supplies last. Participants may also register on the day of the run beginning at 7:30 a.m. at Wrightsville Elementary School, 300 Chestnut St.
