The course

From the organizer

Welcome to our fifth annual Worth the Weight Race set to take place Saturday, August 8th in Old Westmont. We offer 5K, 10K, Kids Fun Run (WTW Kids!), and virtual options.

Worth the Weight Kids! will start at 8 AM and our adult races (5K run/walk and 10K) will start at 8:15 AM. Location is the same: 827 Diamond Blvd. Johnstown, PA 15905 (bathrooms will be available on-site).

All routes will feature the quaint and scenic neighborhood of Old Westmont and was recently updated last year to include the beautiful Inclined Plane! Follow the link to watch a video tour of both our 5K and our improved 10K races: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAjG17Jg0zY (special thanks to Dean Banko of Only Eye Athletics for the video)

We will have food, drinks, and music, as always, as well as LOTS of prizes which will be announced at a later date. Additionally, we have prizes for our top finishers, as always! Come out and support our goal of providing comfort by the pound! We can't wait to see you there!
