run for the pool

Friends of PC Pool is hosting a 5k Run/Walk Monday, May 29, 2023 @ 8:00am.  All proceeds will go to supporting Paden City's public pool and splash pad; lifeguard certifications, maintenance, improvements, and free swim days for everyone!  The race will run the lovely walking trail at Paden City's park, located along the river and through some residential streets in town.  Please join us!  Dogs (and cats) are welcome to participate at no cost - but they must be on a leash.

*Paper registration forms are available at and can be returned to Paden City Public Library, 114 South 4th Avenue.  They can also be printed from the Event Info page under the Registration Details button and returned to the library*    

The race will begin and end at Paden City's Pool (packet pickup and registration will be there too from 6:30 - 7:45am).  The route is handicap friendly, but there are some steep and wooded areas.  Parking is available at the park by the baseball fields or the pool parking lot.  Overflow parking will be available on Main Street behind the Post Office (side closest to the park) and directly across the street at the City Building.  (Please do not use the lot in front of the Post Office (closest to the highway) it belongs to the Fire Department and may be needed in case of emergencies.)  

*Children age 5 and under can participate for Free!  Must use a paper application - just pay for a T-shirt if you'd like one!
