Run for Your Neighbors: Cranberry CUP Holding 5K Run/Walk

The nonprofit benefits local families in need.

The Cranberry CUP (Community Uniting People) is well known for its signature golf outing and neighborhood softball tournament every year to benefit a local family in need.

This year the nonprofit is adding a new event—a 5K Run/Walk and Kids 1-mile Fun Run.

The race will take place at 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 3 at Cranberry Community Park. The cross-country course will follow roadways (paved and gravel), nature trails and sidewalks through the park and adjacent properties.
