New Logo Unveiled for Fifth Annual James Biever Memorial Run

The James Biever Police-Community Alliance (JBPCA) is excited to unveil a brand-new logo for the Fifth Annual James Biever Memorial 10K, 5K, and 1-Mile Fun Walk—featuring a whimsical beaver character sporting sunglasses and a police hat! The design offers a lighthearted nod to the name "Biever," playfully echoing “beaver,” and captures the joyful, community-centered spirit of the annual event. “This year’s logo captures everything we love about this event—fun, community, and the spirit of Jim,” said Michelle Biever. “He definitely had a great sense of humor, and we wanted something that would reflect that and make people smile the moment they saw it. We think this cheerful beaver does just that.” This year the race takes place on Saturday, August 9, 2025, beginning at 8:00 a.m. at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center, with the course winding through the scenic Lebanon Valley Rails to Trails. Race-day registration opens at 7:00 a.m. and all ages are invited to participate or cheer from the sidelines. In addition to the 10K and 5K runs, the event features a 1-mile fun walk, a strong police presence with cruisers and vehicles available for the public to explore, and a popular raffle basket fundraiser. Raffle prizes include admission to Hersheypark, Lancaster Barnstormers and Reading Fightin' Phils games, The Crayola Experience, Lincoln Caverns, a Gettysburg Ghost Tour, overnight stays, whitewater rafting, and paintball in Jim Thorpe. Themed baskets and gift cards to local restaurants round out the offerings, drawing interest from runners and community supporters alike. Participants can register online using bit.ly/JamesBieverMemorialRun. Early registration is encouraged for the best t-shirt selection—featuring this year’s spirited new mascot.
