Originally scheduled for June 28, the Race Against Racism held by the YWCA of Bethlehem was first postponed and later canceled.

The 3.1 mile 5K was to begin at 9:15 a.m., starting and ending at the YWCA offices in Hanover Township. The event was supposed to be the largest annual fundraiser for the YWCA of Bethlehem's Racial Justice Programs.

"It had been postponed because we had not enough racers," Director of Empowerment Center and Development Lynn Harrison said. She added that the race was canceled for the same reason.

A multitude of similar races in the area were thought to contribute to that factor, drawing attention away from this particular race.
