Event Description

The West End Park and Open Space Commission is pleased to announce the Seventh  Annual  Dave Fleetwood Memorial Trail Run/Walk at the West End Regional Park on 578 Evergreen Hollow Road in Chestnuthill Township on Sunday, May 30, 2021 at 9am.

     The 3.1 mile race/walk honors Dave Fleetwood who was tragically killed during a public meeting on August 5, 2013 at the Ross Township Municipal Building, Saylorsburg.  Dave was a dedicated public servant and worked diligently for the community.  The run/walk is open to all ages and abilities and the new “Dave Fleetwood Memorial Trail” will be available for those wishing a leisurely walk on a firm and stable surface accessible to all wheeled devices.

     All proceeds will fund the “Dave Fleetwood Memorial Scholarship” to recognize Pleasant Valley High School graduates who exemplifies the outstanding attributes of Mr. Fleetwood.  To date we have raised over $60,000 and awarded over $20,000 to deserving Pleasant Valley High School graduates.

    The 3.1 mile trail run winds through 240 acres of open space property and includes a flat trail, an open field and woods trails.  Walkers are invited to use the 5/8 mile portion of the flat trail, and/or the 3/4 mile field trail or the entire running course.

     New this year will be a VIRTUAL Run/Walk.  Run or walk as much of the course as you like by May 30th.  The course in the Regional Park will be marked throughout the month.  When you complete your run/walk , email bkozen@weposc.org  with your result.  T-shirts will be given while supplies last and registration is the same $30 before May 15th.

     Registrants for the run/walk pay $30 before May 15th $35 afterward.  Awards go to the top two male and female finishers and the top three male/female finishers in each age group.  The first 100 pre-registrants are guaranteed an event T-shirt.  There will be random drawings of bib numbers for prizes.
