The D&L Blog

The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor and the Mauch Chunk Trust Company held their 2nd Annual Trust 5k Run/Walk on the morning of September 6 in downtown Jim Thorpe. The race began at the D&L Trailhead located at the north end of the county parking lot.

Staff members from Blue Mountain Health Systems were on hand to lend support and refreshments to participants. Water was provided by Jim Thorpe Market.

Each participant was rewarded with a distinctive dog-tag style medal and a t-shirt. The event’s logo replicates the ‘Old Company Lehigh” bulls-eye that was the trademark of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company.

The Trust 5k Run/Walk raised $1,160 for the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. All proceeds support the construction and maintenance of the D&L Trail which connects visitors and residents to nature, culture, communities, recreation and our industrial heritage between Wilkes Barre and Philadelphia.
