Welcome, fall! The fall equinox and the first day of autumn arrive on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 8:04 P.M. EDT in the Northern Hemisphere.
Not only do temperatures drop, but plant life slows down, and so do we.

Fall also brings some wonderful holidays, including Halloween and Thanksgiving, which carry us through the season until temperatures begin to drop, nights begin to get longer, and all the woodland critters start storing up for the long haul of winter.

And don’t forget about the end of Daylight Saving Time, when we “fall” back, setting our clocks back 1 hour and regaining an hour of precious sleep!

Plants and trees are slowing down to get ready for the colder season ahead as sunlight decreases.

Football season is warming up, and so is sweater weather.

Twenty-five years later, we pause to remember the 2,977 lives lost and honor the brave first responders and everyday heroes who showed extraordinary courage.
The world changed forever on that clear September morning, but our commitment to remembrance and resilience remains unbreakable. Today, we join in honoring the fallen and supporting the families and communities forever touched by this tragedy.

Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday of September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements in the United States. It was first proposed as a Holiday in the late 1880s and became an official federal holiday in 1894.

It also marks the unofficial end of Summer.

Drop a comment and let us know how you are spending the extra day this weekend!

START TIME: 6:00 p.m.
LOCATION: LVRR Clubhouse, Lehigh Parkway

Registration is online only. No race day registration.

Online registration ends at 4:45 PM on race day.
