The course is wonderful and brings<\/p>\n together our neighbors to an undiscovered gem of the Lehigh Valley. The rural countryside road course passes by centuries-old<\/p>\n stone farmhouses and several working farms. Sign up or learn more at heidelberg5k.com and I look forward to seeing everyone out there on Saturday, September 22. Even more impressive than the course is the top-notch group of volunteers and sponsors that<\/p>\n have generously donated their time, talent and funds to help make this event a reality,\u201d – Brian Lenhart, Heidelberg 5k Chair &\u00a0Member of Heidelberg Church Consistory<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe are so grateful for the amazing support of all of our sponsors and donors. Our goal to keep sponsors within the local<\/p>\n community was a big one and it\u00a0 was great to\u00a0 see such local participation. We\u00a0 received overwhelming support from\u00a0 BB&T\u00a0 Bank, CAT Country, Lehigh Valley Presses, The New Tripoli Bank & Neffs Bank just to name a few. In addition, we received numerous<\/p>\n donations from local companies such as Sorensen Construction, Olde Homestead & more. Without their support we would not be\u00a0 able to get this event off the ground.\u201d – Amber Kinney, Sponsorship Chair, Heidelberg 5k<\/strong><\/p>\n “I\u2019m excited to be part of the first Heidelberg 5K run and fun walk in the beautiful rural area of the Lehigh Valley!
