Early Packet Pick Up – Friday from 4:00 – 7:00pm The Salvation Army Children’s Services Office (2200 Hamilton Street, Suite 200 Allentown PA 18104; (610) 821-7706). Skip the lines on race day! You will be assigned your bib and checked in at early pick up, so there’s no need to report to the registration table the morning of the races.

Race day Pick Up - Saturday Coca Cola Park, opens at 7:30 AM at Registration Table. Unless you pick up the day before, you must come to the registration table to get your bib and get checked in before your race.

Have a stroller? To access the starting line with a stroller, please use the elevators across from the Volunteer Table (Red Balloons). Please listen for announcements on when those with strollers should head to the starting line and allow a few extra minutes.

Unfortunately due to the policies of the IronPigs we can not allow pets for this event. 

Please arrive early and give yourself plenty of time to park. Be cautious of runners warming up in and around the park. Please follow the event parking signs to the designated parking lot. There will be no parking in front of the stadium or behind the stadium - ALL CARS MUST BE PARKED IN THE LOT ACROSS IRONPIGS WAY. If you must leave early before the finish of the race, it is highly recommended you park along Union Boulevard or along Fenwick or Highland Street for early access otherwise you must wait until the parking attendant can guide you safely around any runners in the park to exit only on Union Boulevard. For safety reasons, American Parkway, Long Drive and Union Blvd. entrances will be closed by 8:50 am so please arrive early!

Run or walk 1 mile a day on your own schedule or complete a total of 31 miles at your own pace—anytime during the month of May.

This flexible challenge is a great way to stay active, build momentum, and make every mile count for children in foster care. By participating, you’ll raise awareness during National Foster Care Awareness Month and help The Salvation Army’s Foster Care & Adoption Program provide safe, loving homes and vital support for local kids who need it most.

Every step you take brings hope to a child’s future. 💙
