The St. Luke’s Via Marathon, now a virtual event due to the coronavirus, is inviting people of all athletic stripes - from walkers and marathoners to cyclists and horseback riders - to participate and raise money to help people with disabilities reach their full potential.

This year’s version of the St. Luke’s Via Marathon, which began on July 1 and runs to Sept. 13, still invites people to complete a marathon, half marathon, team relay, 5K, 10K or walk.

But they can do the event on their own schedule, pick their course and set their own pace, including breaking down distances into segments and doing them over several days.

New this year, participants can join in by logging their distances by bicycling, horseback riding, skateboarding, roller blading or other means of nonmotorized movement.

“For the past 13 years, we have seen the tremendous outpour of support from our community for the Marathon,” said Lisa Walkiewicz, president and chief executive officer, Via of the Lehigh Valley.

“Although we cannot be together in person this year, we are counting on our community to ‘Go the Distance to Support People of All Abilities’ while socially distancing and staying safe.”

Via of the Lehigh Valley is a nonprofit agency that provides services for children and adults with disabilities, including skills training and employment services, in Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon, Monroe, Pike, Bucks and Berks counties.

The St. Luke’s Via Marathon, which is a Boston Marathon qualifier, raises money for the agency. Normally, it is held over two days in September, offering a children’s race and Expo on a Saturday followed by a marathon, team relay and half marathon the next day.

The 26.2-mile marathon starts in Allentown and ends in Easton, winding through Bethlehem via the D&L Trail. Last year, 2,700 people registered to participate.

When the state restricted outdoor sporting gatherings to 250 people, the St. Luke’s Via Marathon saw a virtual event as a way to safely continue the tradition in its 14th year.
