The 41st running of the Fool's Run is now history. The weather on April 6th was perfect for running and more than 225 runners and walkers came out to take part in the event. We are hoping that you are planning to join us for the 42nd Fool's Run 10K & 5K to be held on Saturday, April 4, 2020. Runners and walkers are welcome.

We encourage you to register in advance. Links to the race application and online registration can be found above. Race day registration is available beginning at S & T Bank Arena at 8:00 AM.

Both the 10K and the 5K start at 10:00 AM at two separate points with a common finish line. The races are held on quiet country roads beginning at S & T Bank Arena and continuing left onto East Pike down to a right hand turn onto Ramsey Road. Participants in the 10K will do a loop through the East Pike Elementary School. Runners and walkers will enjoy a fast downhill on East Pike going out, with a climb up the same hill in the second part of the race. Rolling hills in the middle.

Race shirts are provided each year through the generosity of S & T Bank and Indiana Regional Medical Center. Awards in five-year age groups are made possible by a number of organizations and individuals who serve as trophy sponsors. .

For the third year, GingerbreadMan Running Company of Indiana, PA will be providing 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 were 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.

Timing for the Fool's Run will be provided by David Mapes Timing Service of Somerset, PA.
