          For the second year, GingerbreadMan Running Company of Indiana, PA has provided tech shirts for the runners and walkers in the S & T ~ IRMC Corporate Challenge.  The Challenge is a race within the Fool's Run races for the employees and family members of S & T Bank and IRMC. Cross Country-style scoring is used to determine the winning teams in the 5K and the 10K under the direction of IRRC president John Bomboy.  In 2019, Indiana Regional Medical Center won the 5K with a score of 38-61.  S & T Bank won the 10K competition with a score of 36-42.  Special plaques will be created for each of the teams.

​

         The Fool's Run is directed by IRRC members Dick Gigliotti, Bill Winters, Donna Scanlon, and Marilyn Gregory.  Marilyn has come on board in 2019 as an apprentice to Dick Gigliotti with the eventual goal being for her to take over the directorship of the Fool's Run.  Dick has been the race director since 1981 and was a charter member of IRRC when it was founded in the early 1980s.

​

         No event is possible without the help of many volunteers.  We would like to thank all the IRRC members and friends of IRRC who came forward once again to work registration, course control, water stops, and the finish line.
