Bradford County Commissioners hosted the 5th annual Run with a View on Sunday June 7. As in previous years, the annual run/walk was a clearly marked 5k course through the woods and paths of gorgeous Mt. Pisgah County Park. This is a trail race not a road race. It was /over/around/rocks, tree roots, grass, dirt and a few hills. It was a little more challenging than your normal 5k run but definitely had views that you will not soon forget.
We are proud to be the sponsor of such a successful event that truly highlights our beautiful county park. There were a record number of pre-registrations for this year’s race with 146 total participants, more than ever before! The skies were blue and the weather was perfect for the day’s activities.

This year the summer series is dedicated to the late Commissioner Ed Bustin. We were happy to have a large group of the Bustin family attend the event, with several members running in the race. All proceeds from this year’s event will go to the Bradford County Humane Society, who brought an adorable puppy to the event. Bradford County Deputy Sheriff Megan Hurley later became the proud parent of the puppy, now named Bristol, making this year’s event both a fundraising and pet adoption success!
To have such a successful race event would not be possible without the help of John and Amey Johnson, our Parks department, the Maintenance crew, the Commissioner’s office staff and our dedicated volunteers! Every year John plans a race course that is both challenging, and scenic. We hope everyone who had the opportunity to participate enjoyed the race as much as we did and we look forward to hosting the race again next year!
The second race in our summer series will be held on July 11, 2020 at Sunfish Pond County Park in Leroy Township. This is a lap race (running or walking) and the participant that runs the most loops in 3 hours will be the winner! Each lap is a total distance of 1.0 miles with an aid station available. All proceeds from this event will go to the Northern Tier Veterans Group (NTVG). This is a local non profit group formed to provide assistance to our veterans in need.
