14th Annual Captain James R. Minicozzi Memorial Race

Get ready to lace up and honor a true hero at the annual Cpt. James R. Minicozzi Memorial Race! Every Labor Day weekend, amidst the vibrant La Festa Italiana in Downtown Scranton, PA, we gather for an electrifying 5K Run and a spirited 1 Mile Walk. It's more than just a race; it's a community celebration for a noble cause—supporting The Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeastern PA and providing scholarships at West Scranton High School.

Kicking off at 8 AM with day-of registration, you'll be treated to water and fresh fruit before making your mark on the course. Secure your spot early, and for $25, be one of the first 100 to snag our exclusive race t-shirt! Hit your stride with the support of a halfway water station and push for the win, knowing awards await the fleet-footed in every age category, plus special tributes to our Armed Service heroes.

Feel the camaraderie and make a difference with every step you take. From children’s Christmas parties to cherished educational scholarships, your participation keeps James’s legacy alive. Ready, set, go the distance for good!
