Steamtown Marathon

Camp Cranium is a camp for children with traumatic brain injuries. The week-long camp offers community, support and fun for the campers, encouraging independence and building their confidence every June.

The Steamtown Marathon is the biggest race in NEPA - every October, hundreds of runners tackle the 26.2-mile course through the city. Registration is on the rise this year, and that means more runners in training over the next few months. WVIA’s Haley O’Brien is a runner herself and has spent some time with training groups as they get ready to race all over NEPA this year. She joins WVIA's Sarah Scinto in the podcast studio to discuss.

Local training programs help runners accomplish their goals, big and small. As runners begin training for the Steamtown Marathon in October, they share why they love the sport amid a rise in registrations for the race.

Russ Keeler of Kingston's world record attempt fell several miles short at Sunday's Steamtown Marathon, but he is still raising money for cancer care.Keeler attempted to set the record for most bras worn in a marathon by a male runner. He said Sunday afternoon he made it about three miles before pulling himself off the course.

Russ Keeler will be wearing 50 bras when he lines up for the Steamtown Marathon on Sunday morning. If he's still wearing them when he crosses the finish line, Keeler will set a new world record.
