Jill Forsythe at Philadelphia MarathonWelcome to the Lehigh Valley Running Scene website, an online running magazine for people living in and around the Lehigh Valley. The goal of this site is to serve as a local resource for information about all things running taking place in the Lehigh Valley region while at the same time creating a sense of community among runners of all types. It doesn’t matter if you’re fast or slow, big or small, young or old; if you love running that is all that matters.

Lehigh Valley Running Scene is the the brainchild of Jill Forsythe. She has considered herself a runner since 2007 and began running in order to lose some stubborn pregnancy weight and gain back the fitness she had lost over the years. Somewhere along her journey she discovered a love for running and hasn’t stopped since. Jill is an active member of the Lehigh Valley Road Runners club, serves on the LVRR Board of Directors and sits on the Half Marathon Committee.  She relies on her running for a little peace of mind from her daily routine.
