Neighborhood Information

Hi and thank you for visiting the Bethlehem Running Festival Neighborhood Information Page! Participants will be running through the city on October 17th and 18th. 

Saturday October 17th: 5K and 10K (7:30 am to 10:30 am)
Sunday October 18th: Half Marathon and Half Marathon Relay (8:00 am to 11:30 am)

If you've gotten a doorhanger or seen a sign on the street in front of your building, runners will be running down your street on the weekend of October 17th and/or 18th. This means that: 

1. Your street will be closed for part of Saturday and/or Sunday morning.
2. You are invited to come outside and cheer runners as they pass--either in front of your house, down at the start/finish at the SteelStacks, or at the Aardvark Cheer Zone for Sunday's half marathon on the corner of Main and W. Walnut Streets.
3. You are welcome to join us as a runner or as a volunteer. 

To determine when your street and streets in your neighborhood will be closed, see our course maps below with the lead and tail times of our runners. Your street will be closed roughly 15 minutes before the first runners arrive and will reopen within 15 minutes after the final runners pass. Please allow extra time for travel, particularly when going to places on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
