On October 13, 2012, Special Olympics PA – Lycoming County’s LDR/LDW group participated in the Second Annual Round the Hills 2.5K/5K Run-Walk held at Williamsport Area High School in Williamsport, PA. Everyone who participated did extremely well and had a great time. The race results are as follows:
