AppRunCo – Altoona’s fifth annual “First Responder Memorial Race” will take place on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025. The 5K walk/run will take place at Lakemont Park, and proceeds will be donated to the Logan Township Police Department. Lakemont Park is a co-sponsor of the event.
We will also offer a FREE kids' 1 mile race that will take place after the 5K (ages 0-12).
The original Appalachian Running Company opened in 2008 in Carlisle PA, and quickly became the go-to destination for the regional running community. As the stores have grown and expanded over the years, adding an Altoona location in 2021, we have put our passion for running into a passion for serving those who now run alongside us, regardless of athletic ability or speed. You can find us in the following PA towns: Altoona, Camp Hill, Carlisle, Erie, Homestead, Wexford, Harrisburg, and York.
Lakemont Park has been in operation since 1894. They have been a part of the Blair County community for generations and are constantly striving to make it a better place for people of all ages. To learn more, visit their website: http://lakemontparkfun.com/
