About the Pittston City Tomato Festival 5k Walk & Race
The race is part of Pittston's Tomato Festival, so the start area has a parade-day energy to it. The course runs through the city, and because the parade follows shortly after, the streets are already being set up when runners finish. There are options for adults who want to race, adults who want to walk, and a youth run for younger kids.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local fitness studio on Main Street, with race-morning pickup available at the same location. The start and pickup spot are one and the same, which keeps the morning simple.
