Course & Travel Notes

The Stand Strong 5k Run & Walk takes place in Archbald, Pennsylvania on October 3rd, 2026, with an early 9:00 AM start time, so you'll want to arrive with plenty of time to spare—the good news is sunrise that morning is at 7:01 AM, giving you good daylight. The venue sits at 1,148 feet elevation, so nothing too extreme to worry about. Fly into Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP), which is just 14.7 miles away, and expect typical early October weather with highs around 63°F and lows in the 43°F range, though there's about a 35% chance of rain that day, so pack layers and consider bringing a light jacket just in case.
