The Greater Pittston YMCA’s Susquehanna Stride 5K and Half Marathon will be held at 8 a.m. today, May 26. The event will begin at the Greater Pittston YMCA. The race will take runners throughout the heart of Pittston and two surrounding boroughs, Jenkins Township and Hughestown.

Drivers are warned that there will be temporary road closings to allow runners to go through major intersections. These interruptions will only last a few minutes but are for the safety of the runners and the drivers. Drivers are asked to be vigilant and cautions when driving within the Stride route.
