Welcome to our fifth annual AmeriServ 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!

Our race is timed by Runner’s High.
We will have food, drinks, and music, as always, as well as prizes (thanks to Roots Kitchen on Main Street). Come out and support our goal of providing comfort by the pound! We can't wait to see you there!
