Instead of the usual daily deluge, clear skies miraculously prevailed Saturday morning for the first running of the Peale Race where 65 runners and 23 walkers completed the 5-mile course. Participants had an up-close experience of the chilly, damp and dark historic Peale tunnel and of the bright, aerial-like view of the Peale viaduct. Adept mud-puddle skipping was “par for the course” although complaints were few for these folks running for fun, competition, exercise and for an environmental cause!

Nittany Valley Running Club sponsored the Peale Race for the benefit of People Protecting Communities, a group dedicated to preventing a landfill takeover of the Snow Shoe recreational trail and of the surrounding forests, replete with natural beauty and history.
