The fourth annual James Biever Memorial 5K will be held on Saturday, August 10, on the beautiful shaded Lebanon Valley Rails to Trails located at the Lebanon Area Fairgrounds, 80 Rocherty Road in Lebanon, PA. This year’s race will begin at 8:00 a.m. with a 5K followed by a one-mile fun run/walk at 9:30 a.m.
To make the day more enjoyable, participants and members of the community are invited to enjoy yard games and refreshments. Raffle baskets will also be available and include overnight stays in Jim Thorpe, white water rafting, Philadelphia Phillies tickets, or tasty Hershey candy baskets! Gift cards to local restaurants and many more fun baskets available.
The race benefits the James Biever Police-Community Alliance (JBPCA). Since its inception, the JBPCA has donated over $25,000 to local police departments for ACT 120 training of new recruits, FBI-LEEDA supervisory education, the purchase of an electric bicycle and a donation to K9 programs. Scholarships totaling $9,500 have been awarded to high school seniors pursuing a degree in a criminal justice related field. The Alliance also supplies security blankets to all patrol cars in the county and holds an annual Cram-A-Cruiser food drive to collect nonperishable items for the local food bank.
