Run, a "light-seeing" tour of the Christmas lights in State College

lot on W. College and Corl St. at 6 PM. The route is a little improvised and
makes some stops along the way including one at Marty Mazur's house for
cookies, hot punch and/or bourbon. All are welcome. The pace is easy. The
distance is around 4-5 miles, but come and run as much as you'd like. Those who
want food or refreshment after the run can warm up at the West Side Stadium. If
you're thinking of coming and meeting us along the way, you can call Marty at

Run. From Rec Hall at noon. Runners are encouraged to wear holiday attire:
bells, crazy hats, costumes, lights...nothing is off limits! Runners head to the
track for the famous two-lap year end "workout", then jog through
town startling holiday shoppers. The run is about 4+ miles at a moderate pace.
(4) Tuesday, December 27: Tara Murray will lead a group
run from the American Philatelic Society at the Match Factory complex in
Bellefonte. Meet at the Match Factory at the Philatelic Society entrance at
noon. Pace will be easy. Mileage will be 3 or 4. She can give a tour of the
