![]() The 2nd annual End of the Mountain 5K Run/Walk was held on May 18, 2013 at 9am. Runners and walkers signed up and had a great tour of Lemont. The third Annual End of the Mountain 5K Run isn't scheduled yet, but will probably be the 3rd weekend of May 2014. The purpose of the race is to raise funds for continued restoration and preservation of the John I. Thompson Grain
Elevator and Coal Sheds. The 5K course started and finished on the Lemont Village Green (133 Mount Nittany Road, Lemont) with loops around Nittany Orchards and First Avenue that provides a complete tour of the end of Mount Nittany. The map of the 5K course is attached below. An elevation profile is also available at http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/180265002. Registration: A paper registration form is attached below.
