About
Welcome 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 create a sense of community among runners of all types and deliver up to the minute news and information to our readers. 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 a member of the Lehigh Valley Road Runners club and sits on the LVRR Board of Directors and Half Marathon Committee. When not busy with LV Running Scene, Jill is the running editor for Liberty Sports magazine, directs the Quadzilla 15k Trail Race, and as acts as Web Producer for Running Times magazine.
