This 1-mile run/walk event in Scranton, PA on August 16, 2026 honors Paul "Hook" O'Malley, a beloved local boxing trainer and community advocate who passed away from cancer in 1992 and was deeply committed to the spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of local youth. "Hook" was known for his generous spirit, strong moral compass, and ability to connect with people from all backgroundsโ€”whether in the spotlight or mentoring struggling teens. All proceeds from this 34th anniversary race will support cancer-related causes through the Lackawanna County unit.
