Over 700 participants have registered so far for this community event that benefits local cancer kids and their families. Ready, Set, GOLD features an 8k race, a 5k walk, a kid’s fun run/obstacle course, raffles, merchandise sales and music. All funds generated from this event will remain here in the Lehigh Valley to help local pediatric cancer families.

“We are so excited to be able to host this event in-person this year,” said Michelle Zenie, Executive Director of PCFLV. “Last year we held the Run/Walk virtually, but we really missed seeing all of our families and our supporters. Ready, Set, GOLD is an amazing event that brings the Lehigh Valley together to show support for all of our local cancer kiddos.”
