As we get ready to kick off another season of HKRS I wanted to introduce myself as the new Community Coordinator.

🤍🩵💚

My name is Lauren Vitorio. I’m a homeschool mom to three boys and a wife of eleven years. Personally, I’ve been running since middle school, was a track coach for several years and mostly recently completed the Scranton Half Marathon in May.

My two oldest boys have been participating in HKRS for the last four years and I couldn’t be more supportive of the mission of HKRS!

🤍🩵💚

I know many of you are excited and ready to get a new race season started! I have been working on securing a race location for over a week now but lacking responses from the parks I have inquired of.

I am working as quickly as I can to get us started.

Our tentative plan for the Scranton Series is to start September 20.

Race information will be shared as soon as location and dates are confirmed.

Thank you for your patience!

Hello HKRS friends and family,

It is with great sadness that I write to let you know that I will be stepping down as the Scranton HKRS Coordinator. With my recent college graduation and the start of graduate school, I no longer feel that I will be able to dedicate the time and attention needed to effectively manage the running series.

This has been an incredible experience, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful community.

If you, or someone you know, may be interested in becoming the next Scranton HKRS Coordinator, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be happy to answer any questions about the position.

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your summer!

Best,
Emily Hopkins
