In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Platte River Fitness Series, the directors of the Hershey Adventure Run are bringing it back for 2026! Hosting races is a lot of work, and we are so grateful to Dan and Allison Huebner for bringing back a race so beloved! If you haven't had the pleasure, these great photos from Leland Poppe in 2012 will give you an idea of what you're in for!! Plenty of mud, water, and adventure await in the 2026 Hershey Adventure RE-RUN! Race date will be August 29, 2026!

And here we are! Our final and fitness fan favorite event, the Jingle Bell 5K & Mile, is now OPEN for online entries with paper forms at Bible Supplies. The "Jingle Bell" sits alongside the triathlon as our longest standing series races. The costumes are always epic and the JB sweatshirts beloved. This year we're mixing it up with a crew neck. Oh, and in case you are wondering, a nice bright red! Plan those costumes and don't miss out! Race day is December 6th.

The calendar will soon turn to November, and our thoughts turn to our beloved Turkey Trot 5K & Family Mile Thanksgiving morning! We love it when family and friends gather for an active morning of fitness and fellowship! We also love to think about the tens of thousands of athletes all over the country in Turkey Trots held in cities big and small. There is something remarkable about people doing the same thing on the same day! What a great tradition! Online registration continues with paper forms available at Bible Supplies!

We are always so proud of our kids and coaches and our St Pat's boys got left out of the congratulations on Saturday! Deep apologies! The team finished 6th, with Colton Ham finishing as the bronze medal winner! Coach Tim O'Neill has built a phenomenal program at St. Pat's as has Coach Jake Hasenauer and his team at NPHS. In case you missed it, NPHS boys finished 9th and girls 8th with Kori McClain capturing the silver in Class A. We celebrate ALL our area cross-country runners! We are excited to get them back for a while! Coach TO was up bright and early, along with Coach Hasenauer, the day after state to run our Power of Purple 5K. That's what we call great leadership!
