. Ed is a huge supporter of our running community and this race is one of the few we have right in downtown Stroudsburg. I still remember my first time crossing the finish line, my first 5 mile race, and Ed was there to congratulate me and all the finishers no matter what our finishing times were.
So please consider helping out. Even if you aren't available that day there is lots to do before race day!
