The Spring VeloFest offers cycling gear and apparel from complete new and used bikes to tools and components. It's a great place to get deals on needed items or just get excited about your cycling endeavors whether you're a racer, fitness enthusiast or recreational rider.
St. Luke's 5K and half marathon: If you're interested in running either the St. Luke's 5K or half marathon on Sunday, April 28, you're not running out of time so much as spots left in both races.
Less than 100 spots are still open for the half marathon, and about 150 openings remain for the 5K. The races, organized by the Lehigh Valley Road Runners, are expected to raise approximately $30,000 for youth running in the Lehigh Valley, including the free kids run on Saturday, April 27. Last year's kids run featured 1,500 participants ages 3-14.
