Thanks to a generous grant from the Women’s 5K Classic, THE LINK Trail Network will be installing three trail kiosks at strategically located hubs within the network. This will be the first large-scale physical map of THE LINK Trail Network to be developed and installed in the Lehigh Valley. In addition, the funding will support the expansion of digital resources to proactively engage a greater range of community members. The Women's 5K Classic is held annually on the Lehigh Parkway Trail, part of THE LINK Trail Network
"The Women's 5K Classic is delighted to be partnering with THE LINK Trail Network for the installation of kiosks at deliberate and well-traveled areas in the greater Lehigh Valley to promote fitness & education. Our W5K mission is to promote fitness among women of all ages, to assist women and families affected by breast and other gynecologic cancers and to educate women about cancer awareness, prevention, and treatment. Why we are highly excited to be a grant partner is to offer information to those seeking trail information, get people excited about the beautiful trail system in our own backyard, and to be a community partner with the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor committee - such a forward thinking group of dedicated individuals." - Ingrid Gerber, Women's 5K Classic Committee
