This fourth of July weekend, local restaurant, Wicked Warren, will be hosting a 5K glow run with all proceeds benefiting the Blue Star Mothers of Kinzua.

The Freedom Glow 5k Run will take place in downtown Warren on the 5th of July at 7:00pm and will be a first for the area, a nighttime glow run for the whole family, complete with live music.

Event organizers are thrilled about the race and its cause.

“We are so happy to be sponsoring this race," stated Rob Roth, Owner of Wicked Warren. "It’s a great cause, going towards the Blue Star Mothers and we are really excited about it. It’s a simple 5k around town here, starting at 7:00pm, so we will be handing out glow sticks to everyone. It's going to be a lot of fun; we will have a live band performing at the start and finish of the race too.”

“The Blue Star Mothers of Kinzua are so happy to be involved with this 5K," stated Christy Wills, Second Vice President Blue Star Mothers of Kinzua. "The funds raised are going to continue our mission of helping military families, past present and future.”

“We are excited for the 5K and to see the community come out and support our mission,” added Lynette Ristau, First Vice President Blue Star Mothers of Kinzua.

T-shirts will be provided to all runners along with glow sticks, and snacks at the finish line.

It promises to be a fun event benefiting local veterans and their families.
