var images = new Array(); STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY - The Pocono Raceway in Long Pond is known for sponsoring car races but now it's sponsoring some running around a track.

On September 20th from 10 a. m. to 11 a. m. Pocono Raceway will donate 50 cents for every time someone walks or runs around the track at Stroudsburg High School. The money will help pay for scholarships at the Pocono Family YMCA.

The event kicks off Get America Moving week. It's also the final event in the Y Fit Media Challenge Adventure. That's an eight week event involving WBRE Eyewitness News Reporter Laurie Monteforte and Pocono Record Reporter Melanie Vanderveer.

Admission to the event is free. Registration starts at 9:30 a. m. If you would like more information call the Pocono Family YMCA at 570-421-2525.
